Michelangelo Buonarroti, La Cappella Sistina, Musei Vaticani, Roma, 1508-1512

Named after Pope Sixtus IV, the Sistine Chapel is perhaps the most famous chapel in the world. It is renowned both for its function as the Papal Conclave and for its incredible artwork. The ceiling and western wall of the Sistine Chapel are adorned with some of the most astonishing paintings in the world created by the famous artist. The middle section depicts nine stories from the Book of Genesis, including the renowned ‘Creation of Adam’ where the hand of God is seen reaching to Adam to instill him with life. Despite being one of the most celebrated works of art in history, Michelangelo was originally hesitant to paint the ceiling of the chapel for he considered himself as more of a sculptor than a painter.

Giotto, St. Francis Preaching to the Birds, 1295-1300, Fresco, St. Francis Upper Church, Assisi, Italy

Najvišji, vsemogočni, dobri Gospod, / tebi hvala, slava in čast in ves blagoslov. / Tebi, najvišjemu, edinemu pristoji / in nihče ni vreden tebe imenovati. // Hvaljen, moj Gospod, z vsemi tvojimi stvarmi, / posebno s soncem, velikim bratom, / ki razsvetljuje dneve in nas. / Lepo je in v velikem sijaju žari. / Tebe, Najvišji, odseva. // Hvaljen, moj Gospod, v sestri luni in zvezdah; / ustvaril si jih na nebu jasne, dragocene in lepe. // Hvaljen, moj Gospod, v bratu vetru in zraku, / v oblačnem in jasnem, / sploh vsakem vremenu, / s katerim ohranjaš svoje stvari. // Hvaljen, moj Gospod, v naši sestri vodi; / mnogo koristi ponižna, dobra in čista. // Hvaljen, moj Gospod, v našem bratu ognju, / v katerem nam noč razsvetljuješ; / lep je in vesel in krepak in močan. // Hvaljen, moj Gospod, v naši sestri zemlji, / ki nas kakor mati hrani in nam gospodinji, / in prinaša različno sadje / in pisane rože z zelenjem. // Hvaljen, moj Gospod, v onih, / ki zaradi tvoje ljubezni odpuščajo, / in prenašajo slabosti in trpljenje. / Blagor njim, ki ostanejo v miru, / zakaj ti, Najvišji, jih boš kronal. // Hvaljen, moj Gospod, v naši sestri smrti, / ki ji nihče v življenju ne uide. / Gorje njim, ki umrjejo v smrtnem grehu, / a blagor njim, ki počivajo v tvoji najsvetejši volji, / zakaj druga smrt jim ne bo mogla storiti žalega. // Hvalite in poveličujte mojega Gospoda in zahvalite se mu in služite mu / v veliki ponižnosti.

Sončna pesem, Sveti Frančišek Asiški
