One of Michelangelo's famous paintings, is the Sistine Chapel ceiling located in Italy. This painting was constructed during 1508 and 1512 in the Sistine Chapel which held the location for papal conclaves and many other services. In order to reach the ceiling and paint it, Michelangelo uniquely constructed his own scaffolding that was supported off the windows. Contrary to popular belief, Michelangelo constructed the famous painting in a standing position, not laying down. It is noted that the construction of this painting was physically strenuous on Michelangelo, and he often described his physical discomfort.
