The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo

The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo

Also known as the Hand of God. This fresco painting in the center of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel portrays God giving life to Adam. If you look closely you will also notice that where god sits is in the shape of a human brain. Michelangelo cleverely shows us here that he had secretely been studying human anatomy (via autopsies) which was not permitted during that time.
