Adam and Eve of the Sistine Chapel


Michelangelo painted three panels that included Adam and Eve that are found in the second and third chapters of Genesis.
The first panel is when God is reaching out to Adam about to give him life. This is the most famous and most recognized of the Sistine Chapel. The Central panel is God creating Eve from a sleeping Adam. The last panel shows Eve taking the forbidden fruit from the serpent, Satan and Adam taking the fruit from the tree. It also has the scene of Adam and Eve being kicked out of the Garden of Eve.
