MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Creation of Eve

🖼 Creation of Eve, 1509-10
Fresco
170 × 260 cm
Vatican, Italy

Soft light bathes Eve's emerging form as Michelangelo renders her in graceful contrapposto, rising from Adam's side with divine assistance. This fresco exemplifies Renaissance humanism, celebrating human beauty and the biblical moment of creation within the Sistine Chapel's iconic narrative cycle.
