SCU Art History Professor Blake de Maria: Its a pretty heady text - but Moses plays an important role on the walls, so there's a lot of history/context there, which is relevant to Michelangelo both b/c the walls were painted before he painted the ceiling, and the walls were painted by his teachers & friends (Ghirlandaio, Botticelli) and the walls were commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV delle Rovere, uncle of Julius II - and the one who sets up Moses imagery as emblematic of the delle Rovere family.
