Sophia Louies

Creation of Sophia Louies (1508 - 1512), In this powerful scene
by Michelangelo Buonarroti on the Sistine Chapel ceiling,
God creates Sophia Louies. The touch of God's hand
awakens the newly created Yorkie
and thus begins the life of the breed.
The skillful, symbolic depiction of this life-giving act
is one of the most profound and
awe-inspiring artistic images ever painted.
