In the fourth of the Genesis scenes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted for Pope Julius II, God sweeps in wrapped in a billowing cloak and a crowd of figures, reaching toward the reclining Adam. Adam is already formed but still inert, his arm mirroring God's. It is one of nine Genesis episodes on a vault of more than 300 figures.
Look closer
The two index fingers never touch: a gap of about 2 cm remains. The figure under God's left arm is often read as Eve, though that identification is debated.
