They havn't time. While you are
swimming you can't handle an opera

The reformers and anti-reformers
now offer their pleadings for adjudi-

ants; "why should they?" because

And so the merry squabble goes OF

Paintings of Celebrated Artists:
Michael Angeles Last Judgment"

I EFT Us make our way into the

OF Michael Angelo as reflected in his

But Michael Angelo was more OF a
sculptor than a painter and left 10 the
world many wonderful examples Of
his spulptural genius. He learned

Marvellous FreseOes.
Now when we look at his marvellous
! frescoes on the ceiling OF the Sistine
chapel. we are filled with wonder
ment that such a great sculptor could
be Al once such a great painter. But
wonderment turns to awe as our gaze
falls on his gigantic composition
The Last Judgment" painted on the
wall over the altar Of the chapel. II
I is so feet high and 30 feet broad The
whole wall is regarded as the iufln-
lite space OF heaven. into which we are
looking. IN the center OF the upper
part is Christ who Is just rising from
sitting posture to proclaim judg-
ment. Beside him nestles sthe Virgin
Mary. From this center emanate beam
ing rays An immense circle OF saints
each with the insignia OF his dignity
in his hand, surround him as the chief
IN heaven. Below the feet Of Christ is
the angel Of judgment. with trumpets
directed into the depths below. On the

II is marvellous 70 all how Michael

years before. Il is interesting 10 note
how spirited are the figures there.
while those IN the altar piece are

comes up in the minds OF many as
to why the artist devoted himself to
depicting such a terrible scene. This
contest between the condemned ana
