Jules lands right in the middle of Vatican City on October 31, 1512, as Michelangelo takes a deep breath after finishing the Sistine Chapel ceiling. The chapel is a sea of colors and stories painted high above, and Jules is full of questions. How did Michelangelo manage such a massive task alone? As they chat, the artist shares how he painted standing up, gazing upwards for hours on end.
