the "Sistine Chapel"the "Sistine Chapel"

It appears (I have not yet been able to visit it), one of the most beautiful compositions created by the hand of man with the help of God

And Michelangelo was guided by God because from the raw elements of Nature obtain such beauty requires a guided sensibility. Because the result, which represents the Divinity, is going to be contemplated by Eternity

Also in the Sistine Chapel is held the Conclave where the Cardinals elect the next Pope

Well, a Masterpiece

2502 Sacred art is true and beautiful when its form corresponds to its particular vocation: evoking and glorifying, in faith and adoration, the transcendent mystery of God - the surpassing invisible beauty of truth and love visible in Christ, who "reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature," in whom "the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily."297 This spiritual beauty of God is reflected in the most holy Virgin Mother of God, the angels, and saints. Genuine sacred art draws man to adoration, to prayer, and to the love of God, Creator and Savior, the Holy One and Sanctifier.
