Sistine Chapel, Vatican City

The infamous "The Last Judgement" by Michelangelo Buonarroti is the piece in the lower right hand corner, with the beautiful blue background. It took Michelangelo just over four years (1508-1512) to paint all of the frescoes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. "The Last Judgement" was commissioned by Pope Paul III Farnese in 1535 and completed in 1541.
