Art Improved: Creation of Man

In around 1512, Michelangelo painted a fresco on the roof of the Sistine Chapel which stands as one of the most iconic pieces of the Renaissance. The image depicts God giving the gift of life to Adam and start of humanity. Unfortunately, Michelangelo was not alive in 1977 when another miracle occurred: the birth of Kanye.

If the image were to be improved and modernized to contemporary standards, Michelangelo would have painted Kanye West receiving the gift of talent from God. Here the depiction shows how Michelangelo would have conceived this painting today, had he known Kanye during his lifetime.
