“Different View” consists of four main sections. The heart of the exhibit is the Genesis with its nine pictures. Section two includes the Heroic Tales and Section three are the twenty Prophets & Sibyls. And then there is the Last Judgement which is up to 6 x 6 meters.
In addition: the Quattrocento Frescoes have adorned the walls of the Sistine Chapel since the 15th century. To complete the exhibition “Michelangelo – A DIFFERENT VIEW,” these impressive frescoes await visitors in the entrance.
The scenes from the life of Jesus and that of Moses, painted by Sandro Botticelli, Pietro Perugino, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Cosimo Rosselli, provide additional historical background and allow for a deeper insight into this epoch. Michelangelo encountered these works before starting work on the vaulted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
