This principal Chapel in the Vatican could be the most precious room in the World from an artistic and historical perspective; one ponders the figures throughout history who have come here to view Michelangelo’s magnificent creation. The only drawback is the crowds; to have time in this jewel of a creation; by oneself, or with a small number of people and to be able to examine in detail the best that man has been able to create; is to experience a bit of heaven on earth. This was a gift of the Renaissance Popes through the artists to the world; and a magnificent expression through Michelangelo and the Renaissance artists of man’s ability to access higher states of creativity; the same state of creativity accessed by Raphael, Bach, Thomas de Victoria; and a state of creativity accessed by all the great artists.
