Considers the meaning of the "Last Judgment," painted by Michelangelo on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel, in the context of the iconographic scheme for the rest of the chapel. Modern reactions, as well as quotations from Dante, the Bible, and a variety of 16th-century critics, are used to clarify its meaning. Examines the fresco in light of the 16th-century "esthetic-vs.-devout" issue. From the Art in Italy series
