Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel Ceiling
In 1508 CE the Pope commissioned the celebrated Florentine sculptor and painter Michelangelo (1475-1564 CE) to paint scenes on the ceiling of the Vatican's Sistine Chapel. The walls of the chapel had already received decoration from some of the greatest of Renaissance artists, but in four years of toil, Michelangelo would outshine them all with his ambition and technical skill, producing one of the defining works of Western art of any century. The multi-panelled ceiling shows the story of Genesis from the Creation to Noah and the Great Flood. Essentially, the scenes show the creation of humanity, its fall from grace, and ultimate redemption.
The Commission
The Sistine Chapel in the Vatican Palace complex in Rome was commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV (r. 1474-1481 CE). The building was only completed c. 1481 CE but the development of a massive crack in the ceiling in 1504 CE required a repair job that also offered an opportunity to add yet more artwork to an already impressive art-packed interior. What was required was a work to match the excellence of the wall frescoes showing scenes from the lives of Jesus Christ and Moses, which had been created by such masters as Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510 CE) and Pietro Perugino (c. 1450-1523 CE). One man then stood above all others in the art world, an artist already celebrated for his paintings and sculpture, especially for his massive 1504 CE statue of David, which now stood in the open air of his hometown Florence. This man was Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti, and Pope Julius II (r. 1503-1513 CE) was determined to get him for the job.

Lyrics:
I'm alive, I'm alive
(I'm alive) And the world shines for me today
(I'm alive) Suddenly, I am here today
Seems like forever (And a day)
Thought I could never (Feel this way)
Is this really me?
(I'm alive) And the dawn breaks across the sky
(I'm alive) And the sun rises up so high
Lost in another world (Far away)
Never another word ('Til today)
But what can I say?
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Suddenly came the dawn (From the night)
Suddenly, I was born (Into light)
How can it be real?
(I'm alive) And the world shines for me today
(I'm alive) Suddenly, I am here today
Seems like forever (And a day-ay)
Thought I could never (Feel this way)
Is this really me?
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
