The following scenes from the Sistine Chapel were painted inside 24 glass blocks, each measuring approximately 4.5 cm x 6.5 cm by inside painting artist Wang Sijia. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is a fresco painting. This means that the paint is applied while the plaster is wet and is absorbed into the plaster itself. This gives a unique quality the visual texture of the final work. This characteristic effect has been well duplicated by Sijia and is very different from his wildlife paintings and other oil painting reproductions. |
