Let me educate you all.

1) This is the Last Judgement painted on the far wall of the Sistine interior, -NOT- the ceiling.

2) Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling, not Sixtus V.

3) The Sistine Chapel is named after Pope Sixtus IV.

4) This video is taken after the destructive "restoration" of the Last Judgement a decade ago. It didn't originally look so flamboyantly gay.

There, education complete.

"Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein" BWV 2 the first coro always sounds good as a soundtrack to this.

@aktualize were you always so flamboyantly gay?

The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is unquestionably one of the most timeless pieces of art in human history. Even if you're not religious, you can't help but be overwhelmed by this monumental display of talent, passion and dedication.

@aktualize Destructive? You call layers of glue, varnish, and animal fat accumulated with layers of soot and dust nondestructive? That is NOT what Michelangelo intended the ceiling to look like. Those layers of crap were added long after he painted the ceiling and the Last Judgment.

This painting was made from centuries ago. Made while in Europe there were (almost) only whites people. That seems logical nevertheless, but apparently not for you... A painting made by the Native Americans on their religion is going to be represented by Native Americans.Tomorrow, when we shall find extraterrestrials, they are also going to complain when they go to see a painting, on some religious base, when there are only represented human beings and no extraterrestrials?

Called art, true art.
