"The Last Judgement"
by Michelangelo Buonarroti
1537-1541
This painting is on the wall of a church. The painting has three parts. The middle is Jesus. And his right hand is the higher of the two hands. It means the people in right can go to heaven. And the left hand is lower. It means the people in the left side are going to go to hell. The painting is about Jesus told his adherents, in future. There will be a judgement. It will separate good and bad people. The good people will be in the heaven. And the bad people will go to hell. Michelangelo painted himself in the Jesus hand.
