The Sistine Chapel's fame is principally due to its frescoes, especially those which are the work of Michelangelo: the vaulted ceiling and the Final Judgment on the wall behind the altar. The artist accepted the commission somewhat against his will, because he considered himself more of a sculptor than a painter, but was not in a position to argue with the Pope, who was adamant that Michelangelo take the commission.
