The Sistine Chapel Ceiling was painted by which artist?

  1. Caravaggio

  2. Michelangelo

  3. Botticelli

  4. Raphael

The correct answer is: Michelangelo

The Sistine Chapel Ceiling was painted by Michelangelo. Although Caravaggio was a famous Italian painter, his works primarily consisted of realistic depictions of human figures, which would not be suitable for a ceiling. Botticelli's style of painting also would not be suitable for a ceiling as it focused on mythological and allegorical subjects. Raphael was a renowned painter during the same time period as Michelangelo, but he did not paint the Sistine Chapel Ceiling. Michelangelo was known for his frescoes and was commissioned by Pope Julius II to paint the Sistine Chapel Ceiling in the early 16th century.
