The ''Renaissance'' was a historical period and cultural movement, which emerged in Italy at the end of the 14th century by Giorgio Vasari.
It attempted to revive Greco-Roman art. It was a movement that valorised man, placing him at the centre of the universe, and that appreciated his knowledge as well as life on earth.

In 1508, Pope Julius II asked Miguel Ângelo to leave his comfort zone and paint the vault of the Sistine Chapel in St Peter's Cathedral in the Vatican. After protests from the artist, because he considered himself a sculptor and not a painter, he accepted and for 4 years it was his occupation.

During the pontificate of Paul III, Miguel Ângelo painted the Fresco "The Last Judgement", which created confusion in the church because the men appeared naked, causing Pope Paul III to be tempted to destroy the work, but he only ordered painting of the men who were most exposed, for the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.

Worked in marble, it is 174cm high and 195cm produced between the years 1498 and 1499. One of the most commented aspects of the sculpture is the serenity of Mary in relation to the death of her son, being a revolutionary factor in the work.

This work gives an exceptional realism as it contains details such as the folds in the tissues and the muscles in Christ's body. Another detail in the work is the band across Mary's breast which contains the artist's signature. It was the only work signed by the artist.
