Sistine Chapel

2009.07.04
The Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, at the commission of Pope Julius II, is one of the most renowned artworks of the High Renaissance. The ceiling is that of the large Papal Chapel built within the Vatican between 1477 and 1480 by Pope Sixtus IV after whom it is named the Sistine Chapel. {Source: Wikipedia}


So I understand you're not supposed to take photos inside the Sistine Chapel, but when we got there, every person with a camera in the room was snapping away and security didn't seem to mind...I kinda felt wrong at first taking photos, but ah, what the heck, I'm glad I got some takeaways from being there...
