Sixtus IV celebrates the first mass in the Sistine Chapel for the Feast of the Assumption, at which ceremony the chapel was consecrated and dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
Sixtus IV hired a team of Renaissance painters included Sandro Botticelli, Pietro Perugino, Pinturicchio, Domenico ing Ghirlandaio and Cosimo Rosselli, to create a series of frescos depicting the Life of Moses and the Life of Christ, offset by papal portraits above and trompe-l'œil drapery below.
These paintings were completed in 1482.
