There are no words I can find to describe the grandness of the paintings in the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. The artists who created such wonderful visions were surely geniuses and you cannot comprehend how difficult it would of been to create the works that they did. Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli etc. To appreciate the genius of their work you can only comprehend it by experiencing the creations by being there, no photo or book can provide you any perspective of the beauty, and grandness of scale of these works.
We happened to be in St Peter's square on a day that Pope Benedict gives his weekly sermons to his flock. We observed him from about 200 metres away.
