Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel Ceiling

Michelangelo completed his painting of the Sistine Chapel Ceiling in Renaissance Italy (Frank, 2014). Artist Michelangelo used Fresco medium for his painting of Sistine Chapel ceiling (Frank, 2014). Fresco painters as the years past would retouch up their work with Fresco secco, which is a finishing they used over the original fresco paint (Frank, 2014). However, the chemical that was used to mix the paint together deepen and enhance the colors as the Fresco aged (Frank, 2014). The colors utilized in the Fresco reached their greatest intensity between 50 to 100 years after fresco paint was applied (Frank,
2014).
