'The Last Judgement' is one of the most stunning paintings in the world to behold.
It was painted onto the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City by Michelangelo between 1536 and 1541 .
Now, a researcher claims to have found a key biblical figure in the beautiful fresco.
Mary Magdalene , one of Jesus Christ's most dedicated followers, makes a subtle appearance in the painting.
Senior cardinals including the then Pope called for the offending articles to be painted over with fig leaves as they were more typical of 'public baths than a Christian chapel' The Pope refused, but 24 years after Michelangelo died fig leaves were painted onto the fresco by one of his own students.
The fresco was inspired by Michelangelo 's visits to the gay saunas and brothels of Rome .
