Question:- How old was Michelangelo when he painted the Sistine Chapel?

Answer: Michelangelo was around 33 years old when he began painting the famous frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in 1508.

Michelangelo Buonarroti is a famous artist of sculpture, painting and architecture of the high Renaissance period of Italy, who lived between 1475-1564. This young man was in 1508 & at the age of 33 years when he painted the famous Sistine Chapel in the Vatican which was sculpted for him by Pope Julius II. Despite the canonical information that Michelangelo was a sculptor he started this tremendous work which took him roughly four years. To my idea, I was convinced that the most memorable and highlighted mural in the Sistine Chapel is the one painted by Michelangelo as it features pictorialization of the enormous creation of Adam, the Last Judgement and others illustrating images that are a blend between the high renaissance and religious world view.
