The Creation of Adam, 1511

Michelangelo

Fresco · 280 x 570 cm

God's outstretched finger nearly touches Adam's across the Sistine ceiling.

God reaches out to spark life into Adam, their fingers famously almost touching. From the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Michelangelo's charged near-contact is one of the most reproduced and instantly recognised images in Western art — the very touch of creation.
