MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Creation of Adam

🖼 Creation of Adam, 1510
Fresco
280 × 570 cm

Two muscular figures reach across a void, their fingertips nearly touching in delicate tension against swirling drapery and clouds. This iconic fresco defines Renaissance humanism, capturing the electric moment of human creation and becoming Western art's most recognizable image.
