Last Judgement (Fra Bartolomeo)

Last Judgement (1499-1501) by Fra Bartolomeo and Mariotto Albertinelli

Last Judgement is a fresco, begun by Fra Bartolomeo in 1499 and completed by his colleague Mariotto Albertinelli in 1501. Originally commissioned for a cemetery chapel of Ospedale di Santa Maria Nuova, it is now in the Museo Nazionale di San Marco in Florence. It was a key influence on contemporary artists such as Raphael.^[1]

On 22 April 1499 Gerozzo di Monna Vanna Dini commissioned the work from Fra Bartolomeo, though he was only able to complete the upper part of the lunette before taking vows as a Dominican friar on 26 July 1500 and temporarily renouncing painting.^[2] Using Fra Bartolomeo's "finished cartoon" and preparatory drawings, Albertinelli completed the fresco and received payment on 11 March 1501.^[3]
