Here is a pic of the Last Supper from the opposite wall. Not much detail can be seen, however it does give a good idea of the size of the Chapel.
You are requested, while in the Chapel to be silent. (
After all, it is a Chapel!) However, not too many take any notice and so the guards are always saying "
QUIET" every 2 minutes.
The chimney that is used when a new Pope is elected (
white smoke for a successful ballot, black for unsuccessful. Or is it the other way around?) is located at the lower left, just out of picture, of the above pic.
Here is another of the stunning painted ceilings.
There are also heaps of paintings on every wall. Here are a couple.
