The Last Judgement
Summary
Christ is situated in the centre of this religious scene, seated and with his both arms raised. His left hand palm faces down over the head of St. John the Baptist while his right hand is vertical with the index and middle fingers together. Rays of light emanate from his head. Stigmata can be seen on his right side and feet. Two figures kneel facing towards him: the Virgin Mary on the left and St. John the Baptist on the right of the image. The group is suspended in the air, where two angels are playing trumpets. In the bottom left corner, angels shepherd a group of human figures to a beam of light. In the bottom right corner, demons push other group of figures into the mouth of a large beast. Figures are raising from the land in the background.
