This is an exciting 3-dimensional representation of Michelangelo's famed Sistine Chapel ceiling (1508-1512). With the same painstaking care that Michelangelo himself would have shown, the artists of Italy's famed Santini Workshop have taken one of the world's most reproduced images and masterfully sculpted it in bonded Carrara marble on a solid black marble base. In two parts, the pieces are designed so that the mighty hands of God and Adam line up in perfect accord. A focal point for mantelpiece or library table, this beloved work of art takes on new dimensions in its sculptural form and becomes an instant family heirloom.
