The Renaissance period or the so-called period of revival.
This led to the emergence of humanism - a socio-philosophical movement that considered a person, his personality, his freedom, his active, creative activity as the highest value and criterion for assessing social institutions
in 1508, Pope Julius II commissioned the thirty-three-year-old Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel. The artist accomplished the truly impossible: in four years he painted on a 600 sq. m more than 300 figures in the most difficult angles!
The Creation of Adam ”is one of the most outstanding compositions of the painting of the Sistine Chapel.
- the creation of man, the only living creature similar in image and inner content to the Creator himself.
The greatest miracle appears before the viewer in all its splendor. The secret, which will not cease to excite the imagination of a person, is interpreted by the great master very logically and harmoniously.
God the Father flies in endless space, surrounded by wingless angels, with a flying white tunic. The right hand is extended towards Adamai's hand, almost touching it. In other words, the Lord with all his striving is directed towards the crown of his creation. The outstretched hand reaches out to the newly created Adam. And it does not just stretch, but it is clear that the Lord wants to achieve it. Vinca of his creation and all the army that is around him with bated breath and watch the actions that take place.
And the just created give which is pressed with his whole body to the ground, showing that he is quite well here. The face of which is tilted downwards, as it were, shows that he is indifferent to the fact that the Lord strives for him and wants to achieve him. A hand that sluggishly goes down, like that I don't care, I don't need anyone in this life, I'm my own boss of my happiness and I want to manage myself as I want. My life is here on earth. The right hand, as it were, is bent and clenched into a fist and as if speaks of the fact that just try to enter my territory, I am the owner, I am the creator of my happiness.
“12 But they say:“ Do not hope; we will live according to our own thoughts and each will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart. " (Jer 18:12)
"26 And God said: Let us make man in Our image after Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creeping things on the earth. 27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.28 And God blessed them, and God said to them: Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air. and over every living thing that creeps on the earth. ”29 And God said,“ Behold, I have given you every herb that sows seed that is on all the earth, and every tree that has tree fruit that sows seed — this will be your food. 30 But to all the beasts of the earth, and to all the birds of the air, and to everyone that creeps on the earth, in which there is a living soul, I gave all herbal herbs for food. And it was so. 31 And God saw all that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. " (Genesis 1: 26-31)
