Detail of the Last Judgement depicting Christ
the Judge and the Madonna with the writing
"Michelangelo"
View of the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel
with the writings "Anno 1994" and "Musei Vaticani
III"
Historical Notes - In 1533 Michelangelo
Buonarroti was commissioned by Pope Clement
VII Medici to paint the Last Judgement on
the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel. Painted
between 1536 and 1541, the Last Judgement
illustrates humanity in the face of salvation
preceding the moment of Divine Verdict. The
struggle between the forces of eternal grace
and punishment, the Chosen and the Condemned,
are represented by the figures in the movement
around Christ the Judge, the Madonna and the
Saints.
