From them the human genius drew his inspiration by committing himself to dress them with forms of unparalleled beauty. The Sistine Chapel owes its name to its client, Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere (1471-1484), who wanted to build a new large room on the site where the "Magna Chapel" already stood, a fortified hall from the Middle Ages, intended to house the meetings of the papal court.
