Michelangelo painted The Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican in 1512, as the central panel of a 520-square-meter fresco commissioned by Pope Julius II. The image of God reaching toward Adam across a spark of space has become the most reproduced religious painting in history and is visited by over 6 million people annually.
