The "Last Judgment" (1537-1541) is a monumental fresco by Michelangelo Buonarroti, located on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Commissioned by Pope Clement VII and completed under Pope Paul III, this masterpiece is one of the most significant works of the High Renaissance and Mannerist periods. The fresco covers the entire wall behind the altar and depicts the Second Coming of Christ and the final judgment of souls.

Michelangelo's "Last Judgment" is renowned for its dramatic composition, intricate detail, and emotional intensity. The central figure of Christ, depicted as a powerful and stern judge, dominates the scene. He is surrounded by a dynamic assembly of saints, angels, and resurrected souls. The fresco is divided into several sections, with the blessed ascending to Heaven on Christ's right and the damned being cast into Hell on his left. The lower part of the fresco features the resurrection of the dead, while the upper part showcases a celestial realm filled with angels carrying the instruments of the Passion.

One of the most striking aspects of the "Last Judgment" is Michelangelo's use of the human form to convey complex theological and philosophical ideas. The figures are rendered with anatomical precision and are imbued with a sense of movement and emotion. This emphasis on the human body reflects Michelangelo's belief in the divine nature of humanity and the potential for spiritual redemption.

The fresco also includes several self-referential elements, such as the figure of St. Bartholomew holding his flayed skin, which is believed to be a self-portrait of Michelangelo. This inclusion has been interpreted as a reflection of the artist's own spiritual struggles and his contemplation of mortality.

Over the centuries, the "Last Judgment" has been the subject of much admiration and controversy. Its depiction of nudity and the intense emotional expressions of the figures led to criticism and calls for censorship, resulting in the addition of draperies to cover the nudity in the late 16th century. These modifications were partially removed during the restoration of the Sistine Chapel in the 1980s and 1990s, allowing viewers to appreciate Michelangelo's original vision.

The "Last Judgment" remains a testament to Michelangelo's artistic genius and his ability to convey profound spiritual themes through the medium of fresco. It continues to be a focal point for art historians, theologians, and visitors from around the world, who are drawn to its powerful depiction of the ultimate fate of humanity.
