# Last Judgment [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FLORIS, Frans]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 164 x 221 cm ## Commentary Frans Floris established a workshop in Antwerp by 1540, then embarked on a trip to Rome to study the art of antiquity. Very likely he witnessed the unveiling of <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/m/michelan/3sistina/lastjudg/0lastjud.html'\)" href="/html/m/michelan/3sistina/lastjudg/0lastjud.html">Michelangelo's Last Judgment fresco</a> in the Sistine Chapel in 1541, and he studied and sketched works by other Italian masters, including Raphael, Giulio Romano, and Tintoretto. It was Michelangelo who made the strongest impression on him. In Floris's Last Judgment the figures are Michelangelesque and assume contorted postures like <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/m/michelan/3sistina/lastjudg/right/last\_r06.html'\)" href="/html/m/michelan/3sistina/lastjudg/right/last\_r06.html">those of the damned</a> in Michelangelo's fresco in the Sistine Chapel. ## Related artworks - [Apollo and the Muses]() - [Banquet of the Gods]() - [Head of a Woman]() - [Study Head of a Bearded Man]() - [The Allegory of Touch]() - [The Fall of the Rebellious Angels \(detail\)]() - [The Fall of the Rebellious Angels]() - [The Judgment of Paris]() - [The Judgment of Paris]() - [The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Gathering and Protecting Mankind]() - [Venus at Vulcan's Forge]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
