The story of The Creation of Eve
The Creation of Eve is one of the nine Genesis scenes Michelangelo painted on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, completed between 1508 and 1512. Eve rises from the sleeping Adam beside a bare tree stump while God raises his hand to command her. It belongs to the second group of scenes he painted, with the Fall and Expulsion and the Creation of Adam nearby. The ceiling was commissioned by Pope Julius II.

Michelangelo
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, known mononymously as Michelangelo, was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance. He was born in the Republic of Florence but was mostly active in Rome from his 30s onwards. His work was inspired by models from classical antiquity and had a lasting influence on Western art. Michelangelo's creative abilities and mastery in a range of artistic arenas define him as an archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and elder contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci. Given the sheer volume of surviving correspondence, sketches, and reminiscences, Michelangelo is one of the best-documented artists of the 16th century. He was lauded by contemporary biographers as the most accomplished artist of his era.
