Read the text and choose the best title. Some works of art are known as much for their gigantic size as for their beauty. Perhaps the most famous “big” creation is Michelangelo’s painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. This grand masterpiece in the Vatican covers 10,000 square feet of plaster and includes 343 figures. Many of the figures are 10 to 18 feet in height. The imposing project took four years. Michelangelo had to do much of the painting while lying flat on his back on a scaffold! Tintoretto, like Michelangelo, was a 16th century Italian artist who worked on a grand scale. Over the course of his career, he became famous for his many huge paintings. Tintoretto once painted a picture of paradise that was 72 feet long (a bit shorter than the length of a basketball court). Why did Tintoretto create this tremendous picture of paradise? To decorate a great palace in Venice. In the 19th century, American artist John Banvard painted a picture a mile long. His gigantic mural showed 1,200 miles of landscape along the Mississippi River. Banvard camped out along the Mississippi for more than a year, making thousands of sketches as he traveled upriver. When he painted his final canvas, he wrapped it around a large roller. He pulled out as much canvas as he needed and worked on one section at a time. After painting that part of the canvas, he then rolled it up on another large drum. Banvard took his massive creation on tour across the United States and Great Britain. The tour made him wealthy. When he died, however, his mural disappeared. Before long, strips of it were spotted. They were being used as stage sets.
