Michelangelo’s Last Judgment

Explanation (1) This picture is a rectangular mural with no frame with a blue background like the sky on the wall. It is a condensed dynamic combination of male characters, each in a different position. Some of them are dressed and some of them are naked. It seems that the gravity is running short because the numbers are flying or standing on the clouds. In the middle there are two characters, male and female. The man stood partially seated, his right hand was raised, he looked at the left, his left finger was in his chest, and he was partially covered with a gray cloth It was.

Compare Michelangelo's final judgment at the Sistine Chapel (1537-1541) and Michelangelo's work on Sistina's ceiling and point out the features of the style of the work after the artist. Final judgment of personality in distortion, instability, body strength, and strength - sometimes crazy expression is in contrast to the original, gentle, idealized posture of the ceiling. Particularly interesting details were found in the statue of St. Bartholomew. His skin was alive, hence had his painful tools: his knife and peeled skin. It is said that the characteristic of the face peeling off the skin is an artist's self portrait, making potentially interesting comments to the artist's psychology. The artist is said to have drawn other contemporary scenes, but the most impressive of them is the person of Minos in the lower right door. In a sense, Biagio said the last sentence.

The next year when the artist died, Michelangelo's "final judgment" showed some controversial nude. When the last exam was resumed in the 1990's, these supplements remained the same, but for the foresight cardinal, we can see how the murals looked before being examined. Immediately after the painting was completed, the Trent committee condemned nude paintings of religious art and declared, "To avoid all sensuality, in such wisdom characters are not painted with exciting beauty" did. Lehmet's successor, Pope Pius IV, kept this goal, in 1565, after the death of Michelangelo, Daniele da Volterra painted a more controversial nude. Artists won nickname Il Braghetonne, "Bleach Maker". Da Volterra also has replaced the characters of St. Catherine and St Blaise, and their position was considered out of place. In the 17th and 18th centuries, more covers were added.
