Giulio Bonasone - Engraver, Michelangelo Buonarroti - Inventor, Antonio Salamanca - Publisher - St. Andrew - Figure from Michelangelo’s Last Judgment
In his engraving, Bonasone paid heed to certain individual motifs from the Last Judgment fresco in the Sistine Chapel. In the print on display, the artist portrayed St. Andrew with his cross, but in the original painting the figure is placed in the upper right. A female figure, looking intently toward the spectator, is peeking out from behind the monumental male figure.
