The Creation of Adam

The Creation of Adam is the most reproduced religious image ever, with Michelangelo's 1512 centerpiece of the Sistine Chapel ceiling spanning 520 square meters of fresco. Over 6 million people annually visit this depiction of God's fingertip reaching toward Adam, a design that inspired countless parodies across pop culture. Its visitor count exceeds #5's by 300,000 per year, though The Birth of Venus generates more total revenue due to higher gift shop margins.
