Conflict between soul and body.

Most of the characters painted by Michelangelo in the Last Judgement, the fresco situated (or located) behind the altar of the Sistine Chapel, communicate restlessness and suffering. The men and women are almost deformed by their muscles; their bodies are contorted and twisted. When Michelangelo painted the last Judgement, he was sixty years old and he no longer believed the Renaissance idea that man was the maker of his destiny and, lastly (ultimately), of his happiness. He believed that life was tragedy and that only after death could harmony with God be achieved.
Michelangelo saw man as a conflict between soul and body. The soul was divine and the body was its earthly prison. Michelangelo’s characters are so restless because their souls are trying to escape the confinds of the body and ascend to God.

(Great work, Cesare)

Michelangelo’s characters are so restless because their souls are trying to escape from the confinds within the body towards God. Beautifully written, Michelangelo is such a genius :)
