Describe the process Michelangelo went through in painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. How long did it take and what was his reaction to having to paint it?

Michelangelo took 4 years to paint the Sistine Chapel, he didn't approach it as he normally would and went with a more "realist" POV. He was reluctant to take the commission from Pope Julius II.
