with the college of cardinals being sequestered inside the sistine chapel to elect a new pope, all they need to do is look up for some inspiration.
i apologize for the side way shot. taking pictures inside the chapel is not allowed so this was a stolen shot.

Grabe.. Painting this was such an effort..
ReplyDeleteyup. just looking at it for a few minutes was a pain. imagine painting it for days/months...
DeleteIts an amazing artwork. Thanks for showing this to us..
ReplyDeletewelcome...
Deletemaganda ba sya mike sa personal? curious lang :) ung spolarium kse sa may national museum sobrang laki nya parang hindi ko ma appreciate. not unless lumayo ka ng onti. :)
ReplyDeletei barely remember the spolarium - it's been decades - but i remember it being big. the ceiling of the sistine chapel is way bigger...but it's definitely an experience.
DeleteI would someday like to see one of those cathedrals just to see these paintings above...;) lucky for you to see one..:)
ReplyDeletexx!
the city of rome is home to so many cathedrals with intricate ceilings. close to where we stayed which is must for any traveler is the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore - the ceiling is gilded with gold.
Deletei didn't know na bawal pala siyang kunan. at least may souvenir ka :)
ReplyDeleteyup. there are guards walking around advising tourist that no picture taking is allowed.
Deletewould love to see this for real
ReplyDeletei highly recommend it.
DeleteInspiring nga. Hala gumawa ka ng something forbidden sa chapel! Confess dali! LOL
ReplyDeleteyes, i took pictures even though it was forbidden. and worst of all, this was the 2nd time i did it. prior to 2012, i was here in 2005. :/
