                               Michelangelo - Creation of Adam Introduction This post will be about the Italian Renaissance, because I find it to be more intriguing in my opinion, also most of the artists that created these wonderful works, like Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Donatello, Titian and many more are famous and a popular topic, when it comes to discussions of art. If I would be asked about the ownership of this mural and if I would ever have this replicated on a ceiling in my home, then I would most definitely love to see this mural painted either in a library room or in a pool room.

 Hi, My name is Roberts Kalkis (Kaļķis:Latvian), I am from Riga, which is the capital city of a small country located on the Eastern Shore of the Baltic sea - Latvia.
