It is very un-natural looking isn't it. Look at the length of Christ's legs. It would be exciting ot find a real lost work- but I don't have a good feeling about this being Michelangelo's work.

Well the story said that he might have done this as a young man. The works with which we are more familiar were done when he was older, so why couldn't his style have changed somewhat, and matured over the years?

He didn't particularly like working in fresco either, is that right? The Sistine Chapel was not a project he enjoyed.
Or am I imagining that?
If this fresco is really from his youth, maybe it is what lead to his antipathy toward fresco. The figures do seem stylized.
