In the 1530s Michelangelo added the Last Judgment<\/em> to the previous work he and others had painted in the Sistine Chapel. In doing so, he completed but also disrupted the artistic program of the Chapel begun half a century earlier under the patronage of Pope Sixtus IV.<\/p>\n

Is the result a success? This talk will consider different answers to that question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
