Sistine Chapel

Salvet saeclum in favila,
Teste David cum Sibila.
(When the world burns to ashes
as described by David and the Sibil)

Dies Irae

When I was in Rome I never got the opportunity to visit the Sistine Chapel because it was under restoration. All those beautiful wall paintings had been accumulating dirt and it took quite some time to restore them.

So at least I finally had the opportunity for a vicarious experience when the Sistine Chapel Exhibition came to Seattle. The exhibit consisted of many of the paintings photographed meticulously and presented at actual size. This is a must see experience. all that was missing was the building.

Here I am shaking the hand of the guy who offered sacrifice for Noah after the flood.

And again helping God enlighten Adam.

There will be no head chopping here David. You already slew the guy.

I'm on the wrong side of the tree of good and evil.

In front of the last judgement.
