"Last Judgment, detail of the Boatman Charon" (1536-41) is a significant component of the larger fresco "The Last Judgment" by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. This monumental work covers the entire altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Michelangelo began painting it in 1536, twenty-four years after completing the chapel's ceiling, and completed it in 1541. The fresco depicts the Second Coming of Christ and the final and eternal judgment by God of all humanity.

The detail of the Boatman Charon focuses on the figure from Greek mythology who ferries souls across the river Styx to the underworld. Michelangelo incorporates this classical reference into the Christian context of the Last Judgment, using it to symbolize the delivery of the damned to Hell. Charon is depicted forcefully herding the damned souls with his oar, a powerful representation of their inevitable fate.

Michelangelo's portrayal of Charon and the damned souls is a masterful example of his skill in depicting the human form and his ability to convey intense emotion and drama. The muscular anatomy of Charon, the anguished expressions of the souls, and the dynamic composition all serve to heighten the impact of this detail within the larger fresco.

The "Last Judgment" and its detail of the Boatman Charon are considered some of Michelangelo's most significant contributions to Renaissance art, reflecting both his artistic mastery and the theological concerns of the period. The fresco has been the subject of extensive art historical scholarship and remains a key work for understanding the development of Western art.
