	"The Creation of Adam" also sometimes referred to "The creation of man" is a fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti circa 1511. It illustrates the Biblical story from the Book of Genesis in which God the Father breathes life into Adam, the first man. God is depicted as an elderly bearded man laying on a kidney. The kidney was considered to be the organ that is essential for the body to stay alive in Michaelangelo's time, so it often represented life in art. His left arm is wrapped around a female figure, normally interpreted as Eve, who is not yet created and, figuratively, waits in heaven to be given an earthly form. God's right arm is outstretched to impart the spark of life from his own finger into that of Adam, whose left arm is extended in a pose mirroring God's. Famously, Adam's finger and God's finger are separated by a slight distance.
