Analyze the scenes and their arrangement on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, commenting on Michelangelo’s creation of them

Please provide the best answer for the statement.

1. The Sistine Chapel was already decorated with frescoes narrating the stories of Moses and of Christ commissioned by Sixtus IV when Julius II asked Michelangelo to paint the ceiling, so whatever he did had to harmonize with these painting cycles. Michelangelo decided on nine scenes from Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew Bible. Thus, the ceiling would narrate events before the coming of the law of Moses and would complement the narrative cycles on the walls below. The whole is contained in an entirely illusionistic architecture that appears to open at each end to the sky outside.
2. The nine central panels tell the story, in three panels each, of Creation, Adam and Eve, and Noah. The series begins over the chapel altar with the Separation of Light from Darkness, a moment associated with the eternal struggle between good and evil, truth and falsehood. In fact, this pairing of opposites characterizes the entire program. At the center of the ceiling is the Creation of Eve. Life and death, good and evil, the heavenly and the earthly, the spiritual and the material, pivot around this central scene. Everything between here and the altar represents Creation before the knowledge of good and evil was introduced to the world by the temptation of Eve in the Garden of Eden, a scene represented, together with the Expulsion, in the panel just to the right. From here to the panel over the door to the chapel, we witness the early history of fallen humankind, for viewers entering the chapel look up to see directly above them the Drunkenness of Noah, an image symbolic of their own frailty. They see the goodness and truth of God’s creation only far away at the chapel’s other end. In the Creation of Adam, Adam is earthbound. He seems passive, while a much more animated God flies through the skies carrying behind him a bulging red drapery that suggests both the womb and the brain, creativity and reason. Under his arm is a young woman, who may be Eve, who prefigures the Virgin, while his left hand touches the shoulder of an infant, who may symbolize the future Christ. The implication of the scene is that in just one moment, God’s finger will touch Adam’s and infuse him with not just life but the future of humankind.
