Mary Magdalene is depicted in 'The Last Judgement' with blonde hair, kissing Jesus Christ's cross, highlighting her significant role as a dedicated follower.
Sara Penco confidently states, 'The intimacy with the cross, the yellow dress and the blonde hair but also the whole context in which Michelangelo places this figure underscores her importance.'
Ms Penco argues that the muscular, near-naked male holding the cross is indeed Jesus Christ, not Simon of Cyrene, challenging previous assumptions about the figures.
