I venti ignudi della cappella sistina

Speranza

Altough the twenty ignudi are apparently autonomous and self-contained, at least ONE IGNUDO does seem to interact, in a meaningful way, with the central painting.

The ignudo seated below Adam, no less, becomes astonishingly close to Adam's outstretched thigh.

The ignudo above Adam is closest in size and skin tone.

The outstretched leg of the ignudo below and the orientation of his torso and head echo Adam.

We are forcibly struck by Adam's apparently LACK OF UNIQUENESS.
