Question: 1 / 400

Who painted the Sistine Chapel Ceiling?

Leonardo da Vinci

Michelangelo

The Sistine Chapel Ceiling was painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512. While the other options are all famous Italian artists, they were not the ones chosen to paint the iconic ceiling. Leonardo da Vinci is best known for his paintings such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, but he did not paint the Sistine Chapel. Similarly, Raphael is known for his paintings such as The School of Athens and The Marriage of the Virgin, but he was also not chosen to paint the ceiling. Caravaggio was not alive during the time the Sistine Chapel was being painted, so he could not have been the artist either. Overall, the correct answer is Michelangelo as he was the only artist who was commissioned to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
