Although Michelangelo’s famous fresco on the ceiling of the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel is considered one of history’s greatest artistic achievements, The History Channel noted that Michelangelo didn’t actually want to paint it. He had been hired to build an elaborate tomb for Pope Julius II before the pontiff pressured him to paint the chapel, and he preferred to finish the tomb instead. He also specialized in sculpting and hadn’t painted a fresco before. Nonetheless, Michelangelo reluctantly agreed.
