mystery painting

Can anyone identify the artist, title, and location of this artwork? (It's a cropping of a larger work, and it may be a version of the Last Judgement, that's all I know....)

Best answer: It tooks some googling, but Giulio Romano is the artist you're looking for. It's called "The Fall of the Gigants". The link claims that it's part of a private collection, so it's not clear where it can be found.

Best answer: It's Romano's trompe l'oeil 'Fall of the Giants' at the Palazzo del Te in Mantua.

I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like it's painted on a dome? I don't think it's the famous last judgement from il duomo in Florence. Sorry I can't be more help, but maybe that will jog someone else's memory.

Guess I should have previewed first. I'm glad other people found it, since I couldn't.
