Michelangelo was an imposter. When pope Giulo II commissioned the Sistina Chapel, he said: "Non sono un pittore, non è il mio mestiere! Io sono uno scultore" (I'm not a painter, that's not my job. I'm a sculptor)

Btw, few notice a perl when visiting the chapel: below Michelangelo's work the walls are covered by "perfect" paintings, made by famous painters, using cutting edge technologies like perspective.

His work is devoid of perspective, but so powerful that you find yourself asking what these perfect paintings have to do with this place.

I found that visit inspiring to my career as a coder
