This one is fun to study from.

it had a dramatic affect on the Sistine Chapel- not the ceiling, but the wall featuring the Last Judgement.

The pope's successor had another artist cover the dicks on all of the nudes in the scene, including Jesus.

OP here.

His technique is, no doubt, sublime. Just look at the light and shade, the contours, the flesh of the models: he is capable of achieving perfection with his handling of oil.

That said, I must agree that this particular painting doesn’t strike me as magnificent art. He was not capable of bringing the terror, the tragedy, the feeling of pain and loss to the composition.

I think that he has spent a lot of time crafting his technique, but he need to read more books on poetry, more novels, more essays, more human materials. He don’t seem very gifted when it comes to have ideas. He can give his human beings perfect flesh, blood, veins, sinews, bones, but they lack consciousness; using a cliché expression, they “lack soul”.

It’s a pity. With such a great theme and he having so powerfull skills. He should have used a even bigger canvas and created some sort of hell like the Sistine Chapel Apocalypse of Michelangelo: several colossal human beings being devoured by fire, smoke, ashes, glass powder, all with faces of terror and helplessness.

His painting looks comic…he seems to be mocking the event. He should have made an enormous painting that would attack peoples brain and punch their stomachs and their spines.
