FAITH LAPIDUS: This huge painting includes three hundred people. Christ is shown as the judge of good and evil. The painting shows some good people rising to heaven. But other people are condemned.
They are shown falling or being forced by ugly creatures into hell, where they are tortured forever. Some people find this work beautiful. Others find it frightening.
But almost everyone agrees that ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the “Last Judgment” are the most famous works of art ever created.
MARIO RITTER: Now it is time to come back to the world of the twenty-first century. There are many other wonderful works in the Vatican Museums. But they will still be there on another day, and many days to come.
