Does Anyone Know Of A Good Website That Talks About What People Think Of Michelangelo’s- The Creation Of Adam?

Okay so I am going to write a paper and I need information on what people think about “The Creation of Adam” and “The Creation of Eve.” I need scholarly websites or any website that can be trusted. I just need information of what these paintings make people think. I cannot use my personal opinion because I am going to write a 7-10 page research paper on the subject. If anyone can help, please do. Thank you.

That’s a good question although you’re vague in the general sense of which “people” you seek thoughts from. Are you asking the average Joe (of today) what he thinks about the works or scholarly artists/art historians, collegiates, children…who are you referring to? Your answers will also differ according to which century these people are from.
You may want to also consider the fact that art historians get a pretty good grasp (judgement) on art created after half a century it was created. And their opinions on works will certainly influence the “people” of the time.
You can find the ‘reaction’ response of the public in Florence by picking up an art history book highlighting the Renaissance or better yet, Michelangelo himself. Typically in art history cultures are studied as well as paintings and other things. Why not have a source from the period itself?
If you can answer the first question, I’d be happy to help more.

Although it is BBC and not a profound scholarly web site, I think you’ll find some answers, if not a good start to answering your questions. Make sure you read clear down to the bottom of the page.
Then again, you can’t go wrong with picking up a decent book on Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam.” I tend to stray from web sites in general because they are so infallible.
Good luck!
