Hello there, you eschatological empresses of the end times! I hope you’ll forgive all the giggling on this art history episode of Femininity in the Post-Apocalypse. Photographer Aaron C Packard and I crack jokes about The Last Judgment (1541) painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti in the Sistine Chapel, and Bobby Ford receives his Honorary Doctor of Dystopian Studies degree from UCK!

Amazing Ceiling Art of the Sistine Chapel

Visiting the Sistine Chapel is an awe-inspiring experience that combines art, history, and spirituality in one of the Vatican's most treasured spaces. Here's how you might experience it:

Continued thread

MacKintosh was a big fan of Michelangelo's ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, and these figures are based on it. An early version of the facade drawn by MacKintosh included a third central figure (with one on each of the three panels now occupied by letters). This missing figure was of the Libyan Sybil, also from the Sistine Ceiling. However, it was dropped from the building's final design, possibly due to costs.

These sculptures on the Highland Fusilers Museum on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow are the work of McGilvray and Ferris, and represent the Delphic Sybil (left) and the Prophet Isaiah (Right). While the building itself was designed by John Keppie, the facade, including these statues, may have been designed by his colleague Charles Rennie MacKintosh.

Pieces of my visit to MIS Experience exhibition “Michelangelo: The Master of the Sistine Chapel”, the largest #immersive #exhibition ever held in Brazil on the Sistine Chapel and #Michelangelo frescoes. The giant reproduction of the ceiling of the #SistineChapel provides the public with an unprecedented high technology animation and sound resources, promoting an immersion of visitors in the works of Michelangelo.
