Michelangelo’s monumental fresco, "The Last Judgement," is currently undergoing a meticulous cleaning operation to remove a chalky white film of salt that has accumulated on the Renaissance masterpiece. This marks the first significant restoration of the artwork in three decades.
The Vatican provided media with a glimpse of the ongoing work on Saturday, revealing the imposing fresco obscured by floor-to-ceiling scaffolding within the Sistine Chapel. This intricate cleaning process is expected to conclude by Easter, in the first week of April.
