It's not the best ceiling I've ever seen, but...
It's up there!

"Up there" means both highly ranked and literally located above! The Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted by Michelangelo between 1508-1512, is considered one of the world's greatest artistic achievements. Standard ceiling height in modern homes is 8-9 feet, though historic buildings often feature much taller ceilings. Cathedral ceilings slope upward following the roofline. Some cultures like Japan traditionally use lower ceilings around 7 feet. Coffered ceilings with decorative recessed panels date back to ancient Greece!
