@painxtreme I actually have been there, and no film can do it justice. First, if laid flat, it is the size of a football pitch, it is 65 ft from the floor, which makes one wonder how he could sort out the curvature and foreshortening so close to a colossal piece to be seen from far below, so perfectly.
That's just some logistics, as an Artist myself, I cannot imagine, even were I to paint everyday for the rest of my life, let alone 4 years, I could never fill a football pitch with paintings.

the decoration of the monastery of Asis (Umbria, Italy) is way better than the Sistine Chapel, i've seen both.

Shit I would have gone insane if I had to paint that.

This documentary is soooo good. It's disjointed, but very educational.

nudity is not a sin
Damn that ceiling is huge. No wonder michelangelo didn't paint a thing for over 30 years after he finished the ceiling..he was like "Me?Paint? fuck that shit"
