Detail of the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo, Bottega Tifernate, essential finish, 3.5x5 in

Detail of the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo, Bottega Tifernate, essential finish, 3.5x5 in. Square painting depicting a detail of the famous fresco by Michelangelo known as "The Creation of Adam", from the Linea Aurea collection by Bottega Tifernate. Measuring 3.5 in long and 4.7 in wide, this piece is an exclusive work of art, made and finished by hand by qualified painters with specialised academic training.

The technique
The Linea Aurea collection by Bottega Tifernate stands out for its high quality artistic works created through the patented pictography technique, created by the master Stefano Lazzari. This method allows you to create reproductions that maintain all the aesthetic qualities of an authentic painting. Years of dedicated research and study in the field of painting and restoration have enabled the Città di Castello workshop to faithfully restore the methods and recipes that the Renaissance masters applied in their creations on fresco, panel and canvas. For the frescoes, the same type of lime used by Giotto is used, a pure lime, free of salts and alkalis that could damage the work over time. The technique used is ''a fresco'' with gold leaf retouch, which allows the colors to blend perfectly with the lime pigment during drying, thus ensuring long-lasting and harmonious integration. The pigments used are oxide-based, which guarantees that the intensity of the color remains unchanged over time.

The painting
In this fresco, it is important to note that God's finger is constantly stretched to the maximum, while Adam's finger shows a contraction of the last phalanx. This detail symbolises the constant presence of God, but also underlines that it is up to man to choose to seek him. If he wishes, Adam can extend his finger to touch God's; otherwise, he can go through his life without ever doing so. The contracted phalanx of Adam's finger therefore symbolises the concept of free will.
