The creation of Eve in the Sistine Chapel


(Vatican Radio) Veronica Scarisbrick asks Professor of Fine Arts Breda Ennis to better explain Michelangelo's depiction of God the Father creating the first woman high on the walls of the Sistine Chapel. In this fresco God the  Father has his arm raised with  authority and benevolence while Adam sleeps and Eve takes centre stage. A Genesis scene Michelangelo captures on the run.
