	Pintoricchio - First Period In Rome
		That the two frescoes in the Sixtine Chapel were Pintoricchio's first great commission is probable, and it must have been with exultation that he set to work to give free play to his decorative instincts on the large bare walls.
		The deepest interest of the picture centres in these fine portraits of men of the time, and in the landscape which, though this fresco is the most injured of all, is still beautiful in its varied light and shade, and in the lie of the ground in hill and slope and distant vale.
		The chapel was probably the gift of Lodovico Buffalini, advocate to the papal consistory, who, we find from an inscription on a stone in the pavement, died in 1506.

	Vincent Art Gallery: About Sandro Botticelli
		In 1481 Botticelli was one of several artists chosen to decorate the walls of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.
		But as his three frescos begun in 1481 on the lower wall of the Sixtine Chapel shows, Botticelli was well able to achieve monumental effects.
		He soon became a master of the large format: in his "Cleansing Sacrifice of the Lepers" the center emerges naturally, the multi-figured groups connect, giving unity to the scene, and foreground, middle ground and background merge into each other.

		In the frescoes of the Sixtine Chapel ceiling the pose of the body of his figures accentuates the muscles and other anatomical features.
		The color patch of the Sixtine Chapel ceiling is unstable in the sense that any distortion of the mix could easily lead to shocking effects, as can later be seen in many Mannerist works.
		The three-dimensional illusion of depth is still clear in the ceiling frescoes of the Sixtine Chapel, but in the "Last Judgement" (1536–41) there is much less three-dimensionality left and his "Crucifixion of St. Peter" (1542–50) in the Pauline Chapel in the Vatican is almost two-dimensionally flat.

	Venetian Painting - Sebastian Del Piombo
		It is so easy in pose, so splendid in its, perhaps excessive, length of limb, that our thoughts turn involuntarily to the Ignudi in the Sixtine Chapel.
		He was very anxious to collaborate with Michelangelo, and the great painter seems to have been quite inclined to the arrangement.
		The " Last judgment," in the Sixtine Chapel, was suggested, and Sebastian had the melancholy task of taking down Perugino's masterpieces ; but he wished to reset the walls for oils, and Michelangelo stipulated for fresco, saying that oils were only fit for women, so that no agreement was arrived at.
