The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel was painted in 1508 by the artist Michelangelo. It’s many sections portrays God’s creation of the heavens, the earth and Adam and Eve as well as the story of Noah. The sections around the edges portray the ancestors of Jesus, the prophets as well as other scenes from The Old testament. It is intended to be viewed from the front entrance to the back but the main entrance is no longer used and people enter through the rear and need to walk to the other end of the chapel to correctly read it.
