A print of “The Creation of Adam” by Michelangelo on your wall
Two hands, a few centimetres of space and all the tension in the world - The Creation of Adam is the Michelangelo painting everyone recognises. The full scene has a wide, panoramic format ideal above a sofa or bed, while the popular crop of just the hands looks great in a narrow horizontal strip or even a square. A print of The Creation of Adam in warm flesh tones, the pink of the robes and the pale blue of the sky suits a classic living room, a minimalist interior with white walls and a doctor's consulting room. Dibond renders the matt texture of the fresco; 5 mm acrylic glass gives it the modern sheen of a gallery panel. In large spaces - a lobby, a reception, a stairwell - wallpaper at a scale reminiscent of the Sistine ceiling will impress. Wall art for a bedroom, living room or business? You set the size yourself in the artMonte configurator by entering any dimensions.
Michelangelo (1475-1564)
The Creation of Adam
About the artwork
The Creation of Adam shows God the Father, surrounded by angels, reaching out his hand towards a nude Adam reclining on a slope. Michelangelo painted the scene around 1508-1512 as part of the cycle on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. The key is the small gap between the fingers of the two figures - the moment just before life is passed on. The fresco has become one of the most reproduced images in the world, and the gesture of the approaching hands a universal symbol of humanity's relationship with the divine.
