This is a great Catholic portrayal of the last judgement of mankind at the end of time.
Filled with people at the time when their eternal fate is announced, who are being judged and on their way to heaven or to hell, this painting, recognized as a master work of art, covers the front wall of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City.

An explanation of the painting is provided under the painting.
Because of objections to their nudity, the private parts of most of the figures were later painted over with drapery.
