The most important conservation work on Michelangelo’s Last Judgment<\/em><\/strong> since 1994 has begun: since early February, Vatican Museum restorers have been setting up scaffolding in the Sistine Chapel<\/strong> for an extraordinary maintenance of the fresco decorating the altar wall<\/strong>, an operation set to last about three months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

The work-painted between 1536 and 1541<\/strong> by the supreme Tuscan master-will not be isolated from the view of visitors and worshippers<\/strong>: the Sistine Chapel will remain open all the time and, during the work, the wall of the Judgment<\/em> will be visible in its full image thanks to a high-definition sheet<\/strong> mounted in front of the scaffolding.<\/p>\n\n
