The
Last Judgment is a ***** by ***** on the ***** wall of the ***** in *****. It took four years to complete. ***** began working on it three decades after finishing the *****.The work is massive and spans the entire wall behind the altar of the Sistine Chapel. It was executed from 1537 to 1541. The Last Judgment is a depiction of the ***** and the *****. The souls of humans rise and descend to their fates, as judged by Christ surrounded by his *****.
The Last Judgment was an object of a heavy dispute between ***** and Michelangelo: the artist was accused of immorality and intolerable obscenity, having depicted naked figures, with genitals in evidence, inside the most important ***** of *****, so a ***** campaign (known as the "Fig-Leaf Campaign") was organized by Carafa and Monsignor Sernini (*****'s ambassador) to remove the frescoes. When the Pope's own Master of Ceremonies, *****, said "it was mostly disgraceful that in so sacred a place there should have been depicted all those nude figures, exposing themselves so shamefully," and that it was no work for a papal chapel but rather "for the public baths and taverns," Michelangelo worked Cesena's face into the scene as *****, judge of the underworld (far bottom-right corner of the painting) with ***** {i.e.foolishness} while his nudity is covered by a coiled snake. It is said that when Cesena complained to the Pope, the pontiff joked that his jurisdiction did not extend to hell, so the portrait would have to remain.*****, whom history remembers by the derogatory nickname "Il Braghettone" ("the breeches-painter"). In the painting, Michelangelo does a self portrait depicting himself as ***** after he had been flayed (skinned alive). This is reflective of the feelings of contempt Michelangelo had for being commissioned to paint "The Last Judgement".***** The figure of St. Bartholomew depicts the satirist and erotic writer ***** who had tried to extort a valuable drawing from Michelangelo. He holds the painter's flayed skin as a symbol of attempted victimization.
