MICHELANGELO Buonarroti
(b. 1475, Caprese, d. 1564, Roma)

Last Judgment (detail)

1537-41
Fresco
Cappella Sistina, Vatican

The detail shows the right-hand lunette. Angels are lifting up the column of flagellation, which tilts towards the centre of the wall, as if to balance the cross in the left-hand lunette.
