The Creation of Adam Michelangelo Framed Art – $40


The Creation of Adam Michelangelo Framed Art
Print on a wooden frame set up for hanging on 2 nails or hooks
Measures Approximately: 20” H x 43.25” W
Frame: 2.75”

The Creation of Adam is a fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo circa 1511.
It illustrates the Biblical story from the Book of Genesis in which God the Father breathes life into Adam, the first man.
Chronologically the fourth in the series of panels depicting episodes from Genesis on the Sistine ceiling, it was among the last to be completed.
It is arguably one of the most famous and most appreciated images in the world.

Make me an offer.
I can deliver this for an additional fee

or email
Thanks for looking

Wow, the Sistine Chapel ceiling looks a lot more pedestrian than I thought it would. I need to check my translation of Genesis again; I don’t remember anything about Ford vans in there. Oh, I see the problem — I have the Chevy translation, where they’ve translated “Adam” as “Camaro.” A Camaro does seem like it would be easier to hang from the ceiling, though.

And hey, now I’ve got my car — I don’t need to take the butter for from the cauliflower anymore.

Thanks, Emily and Marjorie!

    There may not have been vans in the Old Testament, but there were motorcycles. For instance, Joshua’s Triumph was heard throughout the land!

          I think they were all in one Accordian.

          Something about a beautiful magical couch! The gorgeous imagery depicting old timey water mills and fancy houses! Totally clean! Smells normal! Perfectly good, except one of its legs has disappeared! But put a book of Acts underneath it and its as good as new. Eve says, “Watch out for the snakes.”

    Clearly the van is a late model Sistine Chapel, and the standard equipment package calls for a “Creation of Adam” mural on the ceiling’s interior. It also comes with a “Serpent in the Garden” shifter on the steering column, and dual controls for driver comfort marked “Adam” and “Eve”.

    The family versions even have “Cain” and “Abel” children’s car seats built right in.

    I’m pretty sure this is how you get splinter denominations. I can see it now; The First Church of Not.A.Lion, The First Reformed Church of Not.A.Lion, The Assembly of YSaC, the United Not.A.Lion, Orthodox YSaC, and so on. The Van really has shaken my foundational beliefs in the tangible… Hopefully it has the optional chalice for Bacontini communion.

          Singapore Sling is also fairly fruity and girly. It’s also one of my favorite drinks.

          Singapore Sling:
          Equal amounts pinapple, orange, mango, and guava juices.
          Splash with cherry syrup.
          Add Gin.
          Top with 7-up.

          Men who drink girly drinks don’t need real instructions to make them.

      Capn, will be keeping you in thought. Know you are part of a community that cares about you, peachy or un-peachy, with or without snark.

        Recognize, and appreciate, that support.
        Been one of those days done wrong songs, though.
        Could have used help & support from, oh, 3 miles away; and not 300, 3000, what not miles off.

        Just a day where every low went lower, every blue bluer, and ne’er the labor any easier. Thursday with no answers putting the kibosh to a week, the week reashing the first fifth of June, and precious little to look forward to.
        Not the stuff to put spring in a step, or lighten heavy loads, nor raise laughter in the face of aches and pains and unrealized hopes, dreams, even mere good wishes.

        Will be a new day soon enough-under ten minutes per the clock. Friday, one of my less-dood days over the last 19 straight months or so.

        Sorry. It was screwing up the style sheet. I figured with the other problems people were reporting I didn’t want to make it worse.

          Well, I can understand that, then.

          Next time, can I link to a page with the massive link on it for them to click and see in all its prodigiosity?

        Also, my favorite of all the anagrams (I rearranged the word order a bit):

        Tit-Rig Jury Row.

        I have no idea what it means, but it makes me laugh.

    Alright, let’s get serious here. I would like to make a motion that our band name of the day be:

    The Typing Mugs opening for
    GREEN PEA SOUP
    T0NitE! @ teh 40WaTt!!!!1111!!!!elebenty

    and I also move that we reinstitute the Ye Olde Englishe Pubbe Name offe the Daye among this fine land of YSaC.

          Apparently everyone else is passed out from fruity girly drinks. Drooling on the sofa a little.
