The Creation of Adam: a hand-painted landscape copy for living rooms, dining rooms and studies
Our Creation of Adam painting is a hand-painted copy of Michelangelo’s fresco on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Adam reclines on a green-brown slope and reaches towards the white-bearded God within a billowing red cloak, their fingers almost touching against a cloudy sky. It comes in 4 landscape sizes, from 60 x 40 to 130 x 90 cm. Above a sofa about 200 cm long choose 130 x 90 cm, about two thirds as wide as the sofa, over a 150 cm sideboard choose 100 x 70 cm, and in a hallway 60 x 40 cm.
Choose YES under Stretcher and our Creation of Adam arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional: for the Creation of Adam painting the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Delivery of this copy takes 15–45 days in every size. Adam, God and the cloudy sky are hand-painted with a brush on canvas, so this copy is not a print.

How is the Creation of Adam copy painted?
Our painters paint the Creation of Adam copy by hand with a brush on canvas, following Michelangelo’s fresco: first the slope and the cloudy sky, then the bodies of Adam and God and the red cloak with the angels. When the Creation of Adam is finished, we send you a photograph of it to approve, and only then ship it.
Rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship the Creation of Adam the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. The Creation of Adam is stretched and framed in our workshop in Slovenia. A classic gold or dark wooden frame suits the Renaissance scene, while the stretched canvas without a frame looks more modern.
