contact
Not all art is concerned with movement.
Michelangelo's art was all about movements and counter movements.
Often the movements, as indicated by
the arrows, run along lines of tangents
as indicated in Frame 1.
Click on each image to the left, and you
will see an explanation for the arrows.
This particular work, one of the fresco
paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine
Chapel, is unique in many respects particularly in that it portrays two events,
the temptation in the garden and the expulsion from the garden in one, single scene depicting Adam and Eve twice in
the same painting.
