According to Renaissance ideas of art, a work might teach or delight, glorify or ridicule, but it always had an effect on its audience. As the last great gather…ing to decide the fate of all humanity, the Last Judgment was a particularly evocative subject. Like his artist contemporaries, Michelangelo engaged viewers in his Last Judgment by creating highly imaginative scenes tempering fear with hope and by referring in them to contemporary events. But the singular location of his Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel and the elite educated audience that could see it there demanded an elaborate treatment of the theme. The original audience would have consisted of the papal court and a handful of distinguished lay persons. These viewers-sophisticated about art and poetry, almost exclusively male, and orthodox in their views on religious and theological matters - would have attended services regularly in the chapel. In time the audience broadened to include artists, who were allowed into the chapel to copy Michelangelo's work, and later, a wider, less sophisticated audience. The reactions of this later audience, who judged the work by reproductions and written descriptions, eventually led to its being censored. In this lively, original book, beautifully illustrated with photographs of the recently restored work, Barnes analyzes the Last Judgment and the historical context in which it was created and received. She broadens our view of Michelangelo and his creative process and offers new insight into one of his greatest works.
