Painting on the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling, with “The”
Answer:
… CREATION OF ADAM
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue refers to one of the most famous frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, where "The" is added to the front of the answer. The painting depicts God giving life to Adam, and its full name is The Creation of Adam—so the answer drops the starting "The" to fit the clue’s phrasing. It’s a straightforward reference to Michelangelo’s iconic work, with the hint guiding you to include the article in the title.
