Michelangelo's The Last Judgment, painted on the rear wall of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, is considered by many to be the artist's greatest triumph as well as one of the most important works in the history of art. Here, the newly cleaned and restored fresco is presented in all its powerful complexity and brilliant color. The 150 magnificent full-color images show the work both in its entirety and in many splendid close-up details.
