No, he did not. One of his younger contemporaries, Michelangelo, painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

In reverse chronological order:

He started with Noah and finished with the Creation.

It actually took him less than four years, as he was absent for long periods and had to be forced back to continue work.

What he did in this period was to fill the entire ceiling with murals, about 520 sq metres = 5600 sq ft.

The Sistine Chapel is inside of the Vatican Museum, you have to pay admission for the museum to go to the Sistine Chapel.

Look up the Vatican Museum online and you'll find your answer.

The ceiling of the Sistine contains a fresco done by Michelangelo. In the center it shows the creation of man by God with man touching reaching hand of God. The rest of the work displays bible stories of various types with the sides of the walls showing the popes andProphets from the bible. The last thing he painted in the Sistine was the Last Judgement on the back wall. This was done many years later and it shows God's judgment of man. By the time this was painted Michelangelo was much older and more judgemental towards his fellow man. The Sistine expresses Michelangelo's neo Platonic thinking that man didn't need the church to be the middle man between man and God. This was against the church teachings and ahead of its time. The ceiling rises 70 feet over the floor the chapel and is vaulted. It took him 4 years to paint. When you look at it today it is very beautiful and moving since it has been cleaned by the Vatican.

Nobody carved any marble in the Sistine Capel. Michelangelo PAINTED that ceiling.

Michelangelo carved marble at other places to make sculptures as David and Moses.

Giovanni dei Dolci was the architect of the Sistine Chapel.

The Sistine Chapel is so named for Pope Sixtus IV who had it constructed to replace the Cappella Maggiore. 1471-1484

It has no specific name. The ceiling is a series of scenes from the Old Testament plus a great number of separate figures. Some art historians call it a many-faceted subject, the world in the morning of time. He also painted a wall in the chapel named the 'Last Judgement'.

The Vatican. The art was commissioned and paid for by them.

He spent 4 years on a scaffold on his back painting the frescoes. One problem he had was often the plaster would dry out while he was still working on the art. He went blind for a time because of the paints, and he would often remove what he had done because it wasn’t perfect. The scaffolding was 70 feet above the floor of the chapel and at that height he had to be careful. The pope often would come in asking when he would be done.

Both its ceiling depicting Creation and the main wall with Judgment Day were painted by Michaelangelo.

Answer 2 So much for Michelangelo's work. Then there are two series of frescos (Life of Christ and Life of Moses) along the walls, painted by Florentine artists as Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and more. Furthermore there is the Vatican paintings museum, which is a different question.

The Sistine Chapel ceiling and one wall were painted by Michelangelo. His frescoes have become popular modern prints, the unbelievably beautiful touching of hands or giving life. It is the only chapel that took so many years to complete, and restored about 6 years ago or so, and interestingly enough, when the grime was removed, one of the angels who was sent into hell had serpents wrapped around his torso and finally holding on for dear life to his private part. I found this interesting that the artist would give that sort of punishment, especially when the Pope had problems with the nudity in the beginning of the chapel painting. The Sistine Chapel is also different from other churches because it is where the Cardinals have always met to select a new Pope. The Chapel is also located in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican, Rome, Italy.

To remind them of their own frailty

Mostly laying on his back on scaffolding that brought him within reach of the ceiling.

Pope julius II

Michelangelo finished the ceiling on November 1st, 1512.

It was painted blue with white stars. To look like the sky at night.
