The revamped World Map is here!

[image: a rectangular image of part of the Earthshaker’s territory with the broken World Pillar. There is a Point of Interest Map Marker next to the Pillar with the words “World Map Revamp.” At the bottom of the image are the words: “Revisit familiar locations and discover entirely new ones in stunning detail!”]

Michelangelo

The Last Judgement, Sistine Chapel Altar Wall

Italy (1536-41)

Fresco; 1370 × 1200 cm.

Sistine Chapel, Vatican City

Sometimes I get so caught up in trying to find lesser known works to share with everyone, I sort of forget that some of the most famous monumental works of all time have Black and Brown people in them (thanks to mirtabrkulj for dropping a reminder in my inbox). Michelangelo’s masterpieces in the Sistine Chapel have a very interesting history of posthumous censorship (including how Daniele da Volterra got the nickname “Il Braghettone”, meaning “the breeches maker”), restoration, obfuscation, and general scandal.

The PoC in this painting mostly represent souls being lifted out of their graves and into heaven (or hell) during the final and eternal judgement by God of the peoples of every nation.

All of these images are from the same manuscript, the Historia de Proeliis [Royal 19 D I], illuminated in France by Jeanne de Montbaston in the 14th Century. I’ve shared almost of them in their own in separate posts, but I think it’s also important to show just how many of the total human figures in this  lavishly decorated manuscript have dark brown skin.

The people represented here are from all walks of life: knights, “magicians”, kings, everyday people, worshipers, defenders, or representatives of a group.

Pieter Brueghel the Elder

The Adoration of the Magi

Netherlands (c. 1560s)

Pieter Brueghel the Elder’s paintings are famous for their depictions of 16th century peasant life in the Low Countries. He was nicknamed “Peasant Brueghel” for his habit of dressing down to crash weddings and other celebrations in the countryside to glean information and inspiration for his artworks.
