Sistine Chapel (Rome)
As I have dedicated one post to MONA LISA how can I leave this one?So here are some amazing facts about Sistine Chapel (Rome)-
1) When first asked by Julius Michelangelo did not want to paint the ceiling
2)He first found it unpleasant and wrote a poem about it
3)The restoration undid the work of Pope Pius IV
4)Most people believe that the painting was painted by Michelangelo lying down
that's not true instead he designed special platforms that made him stand above.
5)Michelangelo considered himself a sculptor rather than a painter.
