The Creation of Adam is probably the most famous fresco in the Sistine Chapel and one of the most famous in 'modern' art.
It was created by Michelangelo around 1511 and is located in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel inside the Vatican Museums. It was one of the most complex and difficult paintings to make: it took sixteen days to complete. Michelangelo started with the figure of God and the Angels and later frescoed the figure of Adam.
