Michelangelo depicted nine scenes from the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible. Five of these are Creation stories. Closest to the altar of the chapel is the drunkenness of Noah with God separating light from darkness near the entrance. They were painted in this order, with Michelangelo said to have painted the last scene, the light and darkness, in only one day. They show Michelangelo using more freedom with his design as he painted them. They are designed to all appear the right way up when viewed from the entrance. However the scenes in chronological order are the reverse of this. This is the order of the scenes from the altar end to the entrance:
God separates light from darkness Creation of the sun and the moon God separates land from water The Creation of Adam Creation of woman Original sin The sacrifice of Noah The flood Drunkenness of Noah
