- Michelangelo's The Last Judgment (1534), painted on the rear wall of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, is considered by many to be the artist's masterpiece and one of the most important works in the history of art. In this book, the newly cleaned and restored fresco is presented in all its powerful complexity. Richly illustrated with 150 magnificent full-color images - showing the painting both in its entirety and in many close-up details - the book offers an in-depth study of the work itself and of the restoration process.
