Cherubino Alberti's 1591 print, "A blessed soul lifted to heaven, after Michelangelo's 'The Last Judgment' fresco in the Sistine Chapel", is a detailed depiction of a soul ascending to heaven. The print is a reproduction of a section of Michelangelo's famous Last Judgement fresco, focusing on a single soul being pulled upwards by an unseen force, with the viewer seeing the figure from a rear perspective. The central figure is depicted in an idealized, anatomical style, echoing the Mannerist style of the 16th century. This print is a testament to Alberti's mastery of line and form, and the influence of the Renaissance master Michelangelo on his work. The print's inclusion of a decorative frame adds to its aesthetic and elevates the overall composition.
