The Last Judgement
Creator
Michelangelo
Date
1540s-50s
Description
The piece located in the Sistine Chapel fell under scrutiny during the time of the Catholic Counter-Reformation and specifically at the Council of Trent. The piece found itself in the subject of conversation because of the nudity included in it and the Pagan figure, Charon. The figure also shows Christ, but he is neither seated nor bearded.
