, which shows Michelangelo at work on the Sistine Chapel ceiling , most movies have avoided the difficulties of physically replicating the 66-foot-high frescoes, which would require building a set up to that height or near it. For the most part, the ceiling paintings, including the famous central panel showing God giving life to Adam through his fingertip, have been rendered with special effects, if at all.
