There are many traces of
Michelangelo in Rome, starting from
St Peter’s and the
Sistine Chapel to
Farnese Palace, the Capitol Square, the Moses in
San Pietro in Vincoli or even the decorations of the Pauline Chapel. But maybe the most impressive of these works is the decoration of the vault of the
Sistine Chapel in Rome and ‘The last judgement’ since painting was not the first profession of the sculptor
Michelangelo. Where one stood a starry sky painted by
Pier Matteo D’Amelia, the contract stipulated by Pope Julius II with
Michelangelo in 1508 started a project that would result, some years later, in a ceiling with biblical episodes, episodes from the Genesiis, the creation of our forefathesrs and ended in the painting of the Last Judgement on the wall behind the altar. The original choice of the subject included the series of the twelve apostles but was later changed into an articulated iconographic program imposed by
Michelangelo: the fate of mankind from the primordial chaos and the mythical origins of the world to the Redemption. Words cannot describe this titanic painting and therefore there isnly a solution: a visit to the
Sistine Chapel.
