Answer:
Explanation:
Michelangelo painted the Last Judgment when he was almost 67, and much later after the rest of the Sistine Chapel. It is expected, then, for it to have a few major differences.
- The first one is that the rest of the chapel describes the Biblical stories and narratives on their own. Last Judgment, however, implicates the viewer as if he is the part of the painting. The narrative of the painting is yet to happen and the composition puts us in the position where we are almost among those that are painted on the wall.
- In the artistic sense, the painting is different because it fills the wall to the edges. It is not bounded by borders and frames like the other paintings in the chapel. It is wast and open, and while it does reflect different happenings at once they are not separated from one another but are all in the open space.
- Finally, it is more monochromatic than the rest of the scenes on the ceiling. It is dominantly done in the blue tones of the sky and the flesh colors, such as tan and beige. It is done in mostly light tones, without many contrasts. This also helps the illusion of the openness of the painting.
