Oasis of Eternity -- Michelangelo 1: The Last Judgement Day


The picture (1537-41) is a masterpiece of Michelangelo on the ceiling and altar wall of Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, Rome. The artist's self-portrait appears twice in the picture: in the flayed skin with Saint Bartholomew is carrying in his left-hand, and in the figure in the lower left hand corner, who is looking encouragingly at those rising from their grave.
