We just learned about the Michelangelo's Moses.
Another famous painting that Michelangelo did was the Sistine Chapel - Separation of Light from Darkness.
AFter Michelangelo had finished Moses, the next big project he did was the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
This project was huge, and he painted over 300 figures on an area over 5,000 square feet.
The paintings were all made in different groups.
One group was nine paintings telling stories from Genesis.
In the beginning of the book of Genesis in the Bible it says:
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
>God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Michelangelo made a painting of God with his arms up in the sky separating the light from the darkness.
