The painting is the famous rendition where a young naked man reaches out his arm and finger across a divide to an older, more sagely man who is also reaching his arm out. Their fingertips almost meet. The painting is depicting the moment in Christian belief where God created the first man and set him on earth, an artist's imagination of what that may have looked like. Because of this, Michaelangelo unified religion with art.

Most renaissance artist, including Michel Angelo, did a lot of religious paintings because they were commissioned by the church. At the time few others could afford to buy paintings and the artist had to go to who ever could pay. I know this sounds bad, especially to Christians like myself, but that is the sad truth.

If I recall, during the renaissance the idealized beauty of the human form was being explored. After the dark ages when the human body was equated with sinfulness. The Renaissance artists wanted to show that the human body was glorious. By drawing on the story of the Creation of Adam Michelangelo was connecting the human divine with the godly divine. He was saying, look how gorgeous the human body is. So art and religion both preach that "God saw his creation of humans and saw that his creation was very good."

The Creator called God has poured Himself in His creation!
Yet we struggle to experience the Creator through His Creation!
A good artist, when he becomes as intense as Micheal Angelo, pours himself, dissolves, merges into his painting, And thus a masterpiece painting gets created. The unification of art & religion is a consequence, and not the purpose of it! (For example, a sincere student learns the subject very thoroughly, due to his very deep interest in it, and as a consequence scores very high marks! Others keep the scoring of marks as the main aim, and barely manage an 'above average' score, that too with great struggle!) .

I heard he unified not only art and religion, but also science. He observed nature, event operated a cadavers (dead bodies) to know how do our bodies work. He used special paint which doesn't fade for centuries. He was possessed by his work; that makes him a great artist.

By descent decree. The demand from the church or else!
Which is not very unifying. Then he got ripped off.
