When Creator/MichelangeloBuonarroti was given the commission to paint the Art/SistineChapel in Rome, he covered the ceiling with frescoes. One of those was ''Creation of Adam'', based on the Literature/BookOfGenesis: with his right hand outstretched, {{God}} floats above Adam to touch the man's fingertip. This famous and iconic image is known not only to art lovers but also to the [[LowestCommonDenominator average television viewer]]. This makes it fair game for allusions, parody, and all sorts of tropey tomfoolery.
