In 1990, physician Frank Meshberger unveiled a fascinating interpretation of Michelangelo's artwork in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Meshberger discerned that the depiction of God Creating Adam on the ceiling contained a striking resemblance to a cross-sectional view of the human brain. He suggested that Michelangelo portrayed God enveloped by what appeared to be a shroud representing the human brain.

In contemplating the Sistine Chapel's symbolism, one might perceive a shift in perspective: it's not solely about God imparting intelligence to Adam.

Rather, it hints at the notion that intelligence, keen observation, and the very organ enabling them-the brain-serve as pathways, independent of conventional religious structures, leading directly to the essence of the divine or spirituality.

The Accolade by Edmund Leighton (1901)

Edmund Leighton was a master painter of the Middle Ages who loved to tell thoroughly romanticised miniature stories based on some important element of Medieval life.

In this case the moment of knighthood.
