The Sistine Chapel is part of the Vatican Museums<\/strong>, which house a vast collection of artistic masterpieces gathered by the Popes throughout the centuries. The museums display some of the most important works of art in the world; for this reason, they are among Rome\u2019s most popular attractions. In fact, approximately five million people a year visit them, roughly 25,000 a day. To save time (and stress) and secure a smooth entry, make sure you buy your Sistine Chapel tickets in advance.<\/p>\n

One more tip before your visit: the Vatican Museums are so vast that it is easy to feel overwhelmed and feel like you may be missing the most significant works of art. Rather than going it alone, book a small group guided tour<\/strong> that will introduce you to the marvels of one of the world’s greatest repositories of art, with the added bonus of a guided visit of St. Peter’s Basilica as well.<\/p>\n

Read on for an interesting insight into the history of the Sistine Chapel<\/strong>, which we hope will enhance your visit.<\/p>\n

1) Why is it called the \u2018Sistine\u2019 Chapel?<\/h3>\n

The Sistine Chapel, or Cappella Sistina<\/em> in Italian, is named after Sixtus IV<\/strong>, the pope who commissioned it in the 1470s. \u201cSixtus\u201d in Italian translates as \u201cSisto.\u201d He hired painters of the caliber of Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Pinturicchio to fresco the two long walls of the chapel: the biblical story of Moses on the left wall, the story of Christ on the right. Even though the Sistine Chapel is mainly known for Michelangelo\u2019s frescoes, it is important to note that this group of artists introduced the early Renaissance<\/strong> into Rome and their paintings do represent one of the world\u2019s greatest fresco cycles. They were completed in 1482, and, on 15 August 1483, on the Feast Day of the Assumption, Sixtus IV consecrated and dedicated the Sistine Chapel to the Virgin Mary, while celebrating the first Mass there.<\/p>\n

2) Michelangelo wanted nothing to do with the Sistine Chapel\u2019s ceiling<\/h3>\n

In 1508, Pope Julius II, the nephew of Sixtus IV, decided to partly alter the decoration of the Sistine Chapel and asked Michelangelo<\/strong>, who was busy working on a marble tomb the pope himself had commissioned, to decorate the ceiling<\/strong>. Michelangelo was reluctant to take on the work: he considered himself primarily a sculptor, not a painter, and would rather focus on the tomb. Yet he accepted and spent the following four years painting biblical stories ranging from the Book of Genesis to the Creation and the story of Noah. When he began in 1508, the chapel\u2019s ceiling was a simple depiction of the night sky, a blue vault with stars, painted by Umbrian artist Piero Matteo d\u2019Amelia. When he finished in 1512, Michelangelo had created a masterpiece with no precedent<\/strong> that would change the course of Western art.<\/p>\n

3) Whoever said Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel\u2019s ceiling on his back?<\/h3>\n

Contrary to popular belief, Michelangelo did not paint on his back. He and his assistants actually painted standing upright<\/strong> on wooden platforms Michelangelo himself had devised. These scaffolds were attached to the walls with brackets and were moved through the chapel as needed. Not that they made Michelangelo\u2019s life any easier: he was so miserable painting the Sistine Chapel\u2019s ceiling he even wrote a poem about it, lamenting the physical strain he was under. Interestingly, even though Michelangelo had no way of looking at the work in progress from below, he was still able to paint images on a vast scale from a distance of a few inches. Quite impressive, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

4) (Too much) nudity in the Sistine Chapel<\/h3>\n

Many years after completing the ceiling frescoes, Michelangelo returned to the Sistine Chapel to paint The Last Judgment<\/em><\/strong> on the end altar wall. The vast fresco, painted between 1536 and 1541, is one of Michelangelo\u2019s most controversial works. It was denounced for showing too many nude figures<\/strong>. Michelangelo was unfazed. When the pope’s Master of Ceremonies Biagio da Cesena harshly criticized him saying that \u201cit was no work for a papal chapel but rather for the public baths and taverns,\u201d Michelangelo painted Cesena as a demigod of the underworld (Minosse), with donkey ears and a snake biting him in the crotch. In 1564, the Council of Trent demanded that the more explicit nudes be covered up with fig leaves and loincloths. The artist Daniele da Volterra was summoned to the task, which earned him the nickname of \u201cBraghettone,<\/em>\u201d or “Big Pants.”<\/p>\n

5) Popes are elected in the Sistine Chapel<\/h3>\n

New popes have been elected in the Sistine Chapel since 1492 (as the sole venue only since 1870). During the papal conclaves<\/strong>, the gathering of the College of Cardinals for a papal election, 115 cardinals meet in the chapel after swearing an oath of secrecy, which, if broken, will condemn them to hellfire. Electronic devices are not allowed inside and all cardinals are checked for bugs before entering. Once the cardinals have entered, the chapel\u2019s doors are locked with the words \u201cExtra omnes,\u201d meaning \u201cEveryone else out.\u201d This is where the word conclave comes from: \u201ccum clave\u201d or [closed] \u201cwith key.\u201d A special chimney installed on the roof of the chapel signals the election\u2019s progress \u2013 or lack thereof: dark smoke indicates that no candidate has yet received the required two-thirds majority; white smoke rises (and bells ring) when the new pope has been chosen.<\/p>\n
