1Michelangelo had to repaint his work after a year

When Michelangelo started working on the walls of the Pope’s library, a large part of his work became mouldy. He tried to use this as proof of being a poor painter to the Pope. The Pope did not accept his excuse and asked him to repaint it.

This was a year after he started painting the walls. Michelangelo did have to repaint a large portion of his work after some of it became mouldy one year after he started. The work has since held together and one can hardly tell of any redo of the fresco.
