    		There is only reference to one assistant, and that was for mixing plaster for the ceiling. The assistant's name was Jacopo I'Indaco. All the paintings are credited to Michelangelo.

    On the ceiling there are four distinct paintings/sections. They are called the Webs, Central Stories, Pendentives, then the Sibyls and Prophets, the last two being classed as one.
