Painting by Marcello Venusti after Michelangelo
Last Judgement is a 1549 tempera on panel painting by Marcello Venusti after Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel The Last Judgement (1541). It is now in the National Museum of Capodimonte in Naples.
It was commissioned by cardinal Alessandro Farnese, who wanted a copy of Michelangelo's work for his family collection. It was moved to Naples with the rest of the collection at the end of the 18th century.
