BECCAFUMI, Domenico

(b. ca. 1486, Castel Monaperto, d. 1551, Siena)

Fall of the Rebel Angels c. 1524 Oil on wood, 347 x 227 cm Pinacoteca Nazionale, Siena

This spectacular and grandiloquent painting was produced during the period Beccafumi was closest to Michelangelo whose Last Judgment was only recently finished when Beccafumi painted this panel. While the elongated muscular nudes recall the nudes of Michelangelo, in terms of appearance there is little formal connection between the two artists. The confusion of the scene suggests that the picture is probably unfinished, and a satisfying solution may have eluded the artist.
