Why would Michaelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling with naked people? This is where the Pope worships!
This was painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512. It is one of the most renowned artworks of the High Renaissance. There are nine scenes from the Book of Genesis. According to the book of Genesis, God created man in his own image. The nakedness of man is a symbol of God's perfect creation where man was innocent as a new born child. Michelangelo’s ability to make the human body so perfect in form was proof of his giftedness. His choice to leave his characters' undressed was his way of honoring God's image.
