Michelangelo is likely who you think of when I say "Sistine Chapel". But the Chapel is much more than just a ceiling. Sandro Botticelli also painted there.

One example is this beautiful fresco on the southern wall entitled "Trials of Moses". (1481-82) 🎨

Of unremembered skies and snows.
I think, that if I touched the earth,
It would crumble;
It is so sad and beautiful,
So tremulously like a dream.”
