The Last Judgment (Michelangelo)
Source: Secondary sources per article. Refers to this passage in Vasari: "When Michael Angelo had completed about three quarters of the work, Pope Paul went to see it, and Messer Biagio da Cesena, the master of the ceremonies, was with him, and when he was asked what he thought of it, he answered that he thought it not right to have so many naked figures in the Pope's chapel."

 * Symbol question.svg Wow! Very impressive job. I read through the whole article and was fascinated by it. Here is a full review: 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. Unable to check for close paraphrasing as all sources are offline. All images are public domain. Regarding the hook, I really like ALT0, but am unable to find the hook fact with the inline cite in the article. Could you point it out to me? A QPQ also needs to be done.

 * Thanks! Current note 12, though in fact I see that is a different source from Hartt. Both cover it. QPQ coming, but I'm still adding bits, & there were several old master painting hooks in the last 10 days, so a bit of an interval is good. Johnbod (talk) 03:37, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg OK, I see the inline cite now. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:03, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
