It’s a Masterpiece.

On November 1, 1512, a 37-year-old artist known as Michelangelo revealed his masterpiece of sacred Renaissance artwork, the Sistine Chapel (“Capella Sistine) ceiling in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican in Rome. Commissioned by the Pope (Julius II), the work took Michelangelo four years to complete.

Today’s Meme Express prompt is masterpiece.

How might you use this in a blog entry?

If you could create a masterpiece, what would it be?

Have you ever been to the Sistine Chapel?

What’s on your ceiling?

Have you ever felt you might be in over your head?

What life-legacy would you like to leave for those you love?

Use the questions . . . or not. Use the artwork . . . or not. Use your imagination.
