  Last Judgment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman Catholic Church believes this last judgement is not a literal trial, as those who have already died are either in Hell, Heaven, or awaiting Heaven in Purgatory, as a result of their particular judgment on their death.
The last judgement instead will occur after the resurrection of the dead and the reuniting of the body and soul, in which the sins and judgement for each man will be made present to all before their status in eternal life is resumed.
He discusses the last judgment and the establishment of the New Church in particular in The Last Judgment, Continuation concerning the Last Judgment, and Apocalypse Revealed.

 Metaphorical painting: Michelangelo, Dante, and the 'Last Judgment.' - The Art Bulletin - HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Michelangelo, like one who has a lively ingegno, is always intent on returning art to the proper images of the famous painters and sculptors of antiquity; so he has discovered a new manner, which being pleasing, has been accepted and put into use, both in pure istorie, and in poetic and mixed painting.
In this area of the Last Judgment Michelangelo demanded much of his audience: to refer back to the literary text, to ask how a variant could be meaningful, to make connections with other paintings in the chapel, and to balance their own expectations about the Last Judgment with the scene presented.
Michelangelo was deeply impressed by this cycle; Vasari reports that he gave it the highest praise and "respectfully" borrowed many figures from it.(33) These borrowings are easy to see in the fresco: some figures among the risen dead, for example, are very close in both works.

 SparkNotes: Michelangelo Buonarroti: Michelangelo and the Counter-Reformation (1542–1555)
Michelangelo's Last Judgment was less well received by religious figures than it was by artists, and it inspired considerable controversy with the onset of the Catholic Church's Counter-Reformation in the 1540s.
Michelangelo's public response to the criticism of Pope Paul IV was vehement, but his private reaction was more vulnerable.
In 1545, Michelangelo's assistants finally completed the tomb of Julius, but only a few figures in the piece are his and he took little pride in the finished project.

 Final Days
The idea of commissioning an enormous fresco, the largest ever painted in that century, depicting the Last Judgment, was probably suggested to Clement VII by the traumatic events that were undermining the unity of Christians at the time.
All that had happened in the church in the years that preceded the Judgment, including the Reformation and the Sack of Rome, had a direct influence on the work's conception: painted on the altar wall, the Last Judgment was to represent humanity face to face with salvation.
Between Michelangelo and Vittoria Colonna (he aged sixty-one, she forty-six) a deep friendship developed, one might almost say an absolutely pure love, inspired by poetry and faith, out of which were to emerge some of Michelangelo's finest lyric poems, overflowing with admiration and devotion.

 Sound judgments by Creighton Gilbert
The Last Judgment (called not “Last” but “Universal” in Italian) takes us to be not simply viewers in the usual way, but also participants, since we are to be among the judged.
Barnes rightly begins by mentioning that older Judgments showed the inside of heaven and hell to which the good and evil are assigned, and calls Michelangelo’s omission of hell markedly different from earlier versions.
Michelangelo gives no place to heaven either, in the sense of the place where the good go; it appears only as the place where Christ is judging, while the older images offered both in separate slots.

The first impression we have when faced with the Last Judgment is that of a truly universal event, at the centre of which stands the powerful figure of Christ.
The proportions of the figures and the size of the groups are determined, as in the Middle Ages, by their single absolute importance and not by their relative significance.
The artist's self-portrait appears twice: in the flayed skin which 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 graves.
