The Sistine Chapel is overwhelming in its majesty. I remember reading about Michelangelo in The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone, during the night, when I was breastfeeding our first daughter. I was also moved by Michelangelo's Pieta in the Vatican. Both have to be two of the world's most revered masterpieces.
