Oasis of Eternity – Michelangelo 2: The Creation of Adam

The painting is done by Michelangelo in 1511 on the ceiling of Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, Rome. Eve, appeared in Adam's left leg. Besides his expertise in arts, his human anatomy’s knowledge could not be under estimate. In 1990, a physician named Frank Lynn Meshberger noted that the background figures and shapes portrayed behind the God appeared to be an anatomically accurate picture of the human brain, including the frontal lobe, optic chiasm, brain stem, pituitary gland and the major sulci of the cerebrum. Also, the red cloth around the God has the shape of human uterus and the green scarf hanging could be a cut umbilical cord.

The picture (1537-41) is a masterpiece of Michelangelo on the ceiling and altar wall of Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, Rome. The artist's self-portrait appears twice in the picture: in the flayed skin with Saint Bartholomew is carrying in his left-hand, and in the figure in the lower left hand corner, who is looking encouragingly at those rising from their grave.
