if you look real close, all of the hands he painted on that ceiling are OVERSIZED!!! the are alomost 1 & 1/2 of the size they are normally. reason he did this, is the distance from the ground and viewing thepaintings on the ceiling on a concave surface.......plays with perspective in such a way that if the hands were normal sized, they would all appear SMALLER then normal. he was that smart)))))))))))))
