The Last Judgment was painted on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. It took four years to complete, began in 1537 and ended 1541. The picture provoked a scandal, and the most violent critiques because it was considered shameful that in so sacred place so many naked figures should be represented. Michelangelo of heresy was accused and one tried to destroy the picture.
I do not remember exactly when I saw it for the first time, but that was in a book of history, in the school. I like this mural, because I go a lot of time to realize it and the result was brilliant, in addition generated a lot of polemic in it time.
Enjoy it! :)
