The Creation of Adam

The Creation of Adam is a fresco (280x570 cm) by Michelangelo Buonarroti, dating back to around 1511 and forming part of the decoration of the vault of the Sistine Chapel, in the Vatican Museums in Rome, commissioned by Pope Julius II. This is the most famous and well-known episode of the Sistine Chapel and one of the most well-known and celebrated icons of universal art, the subject of countless quotes, homages and parodies. 

Free Will 

Once the fresco was completed, the cardinals responsible for looking after the works remained for hours watching and admiring. After the analysis, he asked Michelangelo to redo part of the work. The discontent was over an apparently unimportant detail. Michelangelo had drawn the panel of the creation of man with the fingers of God and Adam, touching. The cardinals asked that there be no touching, but that the fingers of both be kept separate and more: that the finger of God should always be stretched to the maximum, but that the finger of Adam would contract the last phalanx. A detail that meant that God is there, but the decision to seek Him depends on man. If he wants, he will reach out, touch him, but not wanting, he can go a lifetime without seeking Him. The last phalanx of the contracted Adam's finger therefore represents free will. For a better view, get the largest image.
