Unlike the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, where the Last Supper is located, the Sistine Chapel has been used for hundreds of years and is the Pope's private prayer hall, so there are not so many curfews.

Many of the frescoes in this church are also in better condition and have better lighting conditions, with natural light shining directly into the interior of the church through several tall glass windows, and the view conditions are excellent.

As soon as they walked into the Sistine Chapel, Ye Tian and the others were completely shocked by everything in front of them, and everyone stopped one after another, looking at everything in the church in a daze, their eyes were almost exhausted.

What appeared in front of them was a paradise of mural art, brilliant and magnificent, radiating incomparably brilliant light, dazzling and fascinating.

On the wall facing the entrance of the church is one of the greatest works of art of the Renaissance by Michelangelo, The Last Judgment.

Extending upwards, you can see a series of huge ceiling paintings, also by Michelangelo, another of the greatest works of art of the Renaissance, the Book of Genesis.

On the right wall of the church, there are six frescoes depicting the life of Jesus Christ, the Biography of Christ, which was written by the early Renaissance master Botticelli and is one of his representative works.

On the left wall of the church are six murals depicting the life of Moses, the savior of Israel, the Biography of Moses, which was created by the early Renaissance master Kierlandaeo, and is also a group of top artworks.

Looking at these famous murals in the history of art, especially Michelangelo's two masterpieces, "Genesis" and "The Last Judgment", Ye Tian and they were instantly attracted and fell into a state of obsession.

The other visitors who entered the church with them all stood still, looking at the beautiful frescoes and everything in the Sistine Chapel.

After a long time, Ye Tianfang came to his senses, and then let out a sigh of emotion.

"Wow, it's spectacular, it's amazing, it's a haven for mural art, it's breathtaking."

With his exclamation, Betty and the other tourists around them were all awakened.

In the next moment, the scene was completely boiling, and bursts of exclamations followed, and some devout believers even prayed in low voices.

After some amazement and emotion, everyone's emotions calmed down a little, and the scene soon quieted down.

Immediately after that, everyone chose their own goals and began to enjoy the murals in this church.

Because of the distance and the fact that there is a marble frame screen in the middle of the church that blocks the view, for a while, everyone could not enjoy "The Last Judgment", and could only enjoy the other three murals nearby!

Without exception, everyone at the scene raised their heads and craned their necks to look at the dome of the church and the "Book of Genesis" painted on the dome, the masterpiece of the master Michelangelo!

Ye Tian and they were no exception, everyone raised their heads and looked at the dome of the church, everyone was extremely excited and full of anticipation.

"Genesis" is a group of huge frescoes created by Michelangelo from 1508 to 1512, which lasted for more than four years, and the mural area is as high as about 480 square meters, which can be called a huge work.

The size of the frescoes completely covers the huge dome of the church, extending from the doorway to the front wall, which is connected to The Last Judgment.

The themes on the picture are all taken from the beginning of the Bible, about the opening of the world and the beginning of the Ark of the Flood.

They are "God Divides Light and Darkness", "Creation of the Sun, Moon, Grass and Trees", "God Divides Land and Water", "Creation of Adam", "Creation of Eve", "Expulsion from the Garden of Eden", "Noah's Sacrifice", "The Great Flood", and "Noah's Drunkenness".

The whole group of murals is composed of the above 9 central pictures and many decorative paintings, with a total of 343 figures, the scene is grand, the character portrayal is shocking, and it is a huge system project.

The Book of Genesis is divided into three parts: 'God created the world,' 'The Fall of the world,' and 'Undue sacrifice.'

Each scene revolves around huge, seated fruit youths in various forms, flanked by vivid witches, soothsayers, and slaves.

The whole picture of the fresco is so imposing and powerful that even the unusually strong vault of the Sistine Chapel seems to be unable to bear its weight, as if it is trembling slightly.

The church was completely silent, and everyone was looking up at the beautiful frescoes on the ceiling and being fascinated by them.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded at the scene, waking up Ye Tian, who was full of intoxication, and also woke up other visitors.

"Steven, can you tell us about this Genesis? We have had the pleasure of listening to your explanation in other exhibition halls before, and it can be said that it is very wonderful.

Most of the visitors were laymen and didn't know much about the famous zenith painting, but you're a senior professional and you certainly know more than we do."

The one who spoke was a white man in his forties, with his wife and children by his side, and he was obviously a family trip.

When the voice fell, someone at the scene immediately responded.

"That's right, Steven, let me tell you a little bit, as you know, you once owned a painting of Michelangelo, The Creation of Adam, from Genesis.

Your knowledge of the famous frescoes of Genesis is certainly deeper and more thorough than most people, and it would be great if you could explain it to everyone!"

Hearing the words of these two, everyone at the scene turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, everyone was extremely excited and full of expectations!

At this time, in their eyes, Ye Tian was no longer the ruthless and greedy bastard, but the world's top antique art appraisal expert and a senior professional.

Betty and Anderson were the same, they all looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his explanation.

Even the docents, staff, and security personnel in the Sistine Chapel all looked at Ye Tian, their eyes full of curiosity, and they wanted to hear his professional explanation.

Ye Tian looked back at the two buddies who spoke, then glanced at the audience again, and then said aloud with a smile:

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you all here, and I wish you all a wonderful and enjoyable day.

As we all know, I am an atheist, and the Sistine Chapel has a very special place in the religious world, as is Michelangelo's Genesis.

Obviously, it's not my right place to comment on the Genesis fresco in this church, that would probably cause some unnecessary trouble, and I don't want to see that happen.

Since everyone asked me to explain, then I can't excuse myself, but it's not the hospitality, I can explain this group of murals to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

But I won't comment on the content of this group of murals, I will only tell you about the artistry of this group of murals, as well as the background and related stories of Michelangelo's creation of this group of murals."

"Bang Bang Bang"

There was a round of applause, short and warm.

All the visitors in the church gave Ye Tian their own applause.

While applauding, everyone also secretly admired.

This guy Steven is exactly like the legend, he is very cautious, leaky, and impeccable!

The applause soon fell, and Ye Tianqing's voice came out again.

"The Book of Genesis is a set of ceiling paintings, covering an area of 480 square meters, covering the entire dome of the Sistine Chapel, consisting of nine paintings, with a total of 343 figures.

It can be seen that each of Michelangelo's characters is idealized, heroic, and Hercules-type, fully expressing the strength and beauty of the human body. It is very similar to his sculptures!

Because this is a zenith painting, and it was completed by Michelangelo independently, when creating this set of zenith paintings, Michelangelo basically painted in a supine position, and insisted on it for four to five years.

So much so that for a few months after the creation of "Genesis", Michelangelo's eyes could not be level, and even when he read a letter, he had to pick up and look up, so it can be said that he was creating with his life.

It is precisely in this way that Michelangelo completed this great set of works, and what he left to future generations is immortal grandeur and rigor, magnificence and solemnity, an immortal monument of mural art.

Although Michelangelo gave people unlimited room for interpretation in terms of art, the admiration for his work spirit is also an important aspect of the examination of this set of zenith paintings,......"

While explaining, Ye Tian had also turned on the perspective and began to explore the group of murals on the ceiling of the church, as well as the space above the dome, to see if he could find something.

As far as the eye could see, all the details of the group of murals of "Genesis" on the zenith were immediately clearly presented in his eyes, and nothing was missed!

Even the Vatican Library above the dome and the sky above the church were visible to him.

In the group of frescoes of the Book of Genesis, there is indeed a secret, which may be called Michelangelo's code.

It is an anatomical diagram resembling the structure of the human brain and an anatomical diagram of a human backbone, which are hidden in the two sets of murals "The Creation of Adam" and "God Divides Light and Darkness" respectively, which are very hidden.

According to historical records, Michelangelo studied human anatomy avidly during his menstrual period in order to improve his knowledge of the human body.

He had persuaded an abbot of the monastery to allow him to study corpses in the monastery's hospital, and had made many sketches of human anatomy, though he later destroyed most of the sketch notes.

He understands human anatomy, and all the murals are done by Michelangelo, never pretending to others, in this regard, the appearance of the human body in "Genesis" is not abrupt!

Although this discovery was amazing, it was of no use to Ye Tian, he could only enjoy it secretly and could not make it public.

In addition to the human anatomy, on the bottom sketch, he also found several figures that were not shown on the mural, as well as the corresponding background, which can be regarded as a hidden secret!

Like the previous discoveries, in the field of art, these discoveries are amazing enough to definitely cause a sensation, but they are of little use to Ye Tian, they can only make him know more about this group of murals.

Of course, in the process of perspective, he also saw the whole process of Michelangelo's creation of this group of murals, witnessed the birth of a masterpiece with his own eyes, and the painter's amazing artistic talent!

After looking through the frescoes, he continued to look upwards into the Vatican Library's library above the dome, which housed many ancient books from the Middle Ages.

Only a small fraction of these books are in English, and most of the rest are in Latin or Italian, with a few in French, Spanish, and other languages.

In this historic library, Ye Tian also found two hidden compartments, hidden behind the bookshelves, but they were empty inside, and there were no surprises to find!

Of course, the main reason is that he doesn't know the words in many ancient books, and even if there are any secrets hidden in those ancient books, he can't see them at this time!

It seems that it would be a shame to continue to study, learn various languages and scripts, lest you miss some secrets and treasures that are close at hand!

While secretly thinking so, Ye Tian also retracted his gaze and ended the perspective.
