6001 Code MABE Historical Episode in the Life Independent
of Michael Angelo Michael Angelo, famous as artist, sculptor and architect, is by many considered one of the greatest geniuses that ever lived. At the opening of this story he was at work on his statue of Moses. His fame had grown so great that rival artists were jealous and hoping that he would fail as a painter, persuaded Pope Julius the Second to command him to paint the Sistine Chapel. Michael Angelo suspected their purpose, but accepted the commission, and for four years he worked on his back painting the wonderful ceiling of the Chapel. The finished work is the greatest masterpiece that the hand of man has ever turned out. It is very large, covering the entire ceiling with a design portraying numerous biblical incidents and containing three hundred and forty-three different figures. Even his rivals were forced to acknowledge the marvelous beauty of the design and its execution. The task finished, the master returned to his statue of Moses, which now stands in the little church of San Pietro in Rome.
