Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, in fact hated painting

Wright was convinced that the art of painting is considerably inferior to sculpture. He believed that the paint - it's a waste of time, and, moreover, claimed that the landscapes and still lifes are "only for women" and it would be nice at all forbid people to paint.

It's pretty surprising fact about the person, his hand wrote one of the most iconic works of art in the history of mankind - the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel (scenes from Genesis on the ceiling and The Last Judgment on the altar wall). Michelangelo considered himself exclusively sculptor and architect.
