The Last Judgment, Final Judgment, Day of Judgment, Judgment Day, or The Day of the Lord in Christian theology, is the final and eternal judgment by God of every nation. The concept is found in all the Canonical gospels, particularly the Gospel of Matthew. It will purportedly take place after the Resurrection of the Dead and the Second Coming of Christ . This belief has inspired numerous artistic depictions.
[edit]
Artistic representations
In art, the Last Judgment is a common theme in medieval and renaissance religious iconography. Like most early iconographic innovations, its origins stem from Byzantium. In Western Christianity, it is often the subject depicted on the central tympanum of medieval cathedrals and churches, or as the central section of a triptych, flanked by depictions of heaven and hell to the left and right, respectively (heaven being to the viewer's left, but to the Christ figure's right).
The most famous Renaissance depiction is Michelangelo Buonarroti's The Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel. Included in this fresco is his self portrait, as St. Bartholomew's flayed skin.
A variety of creative works are listed below, chronologically:
- The Last Judgment, a tympanum by Giselbertus
- The Last Judgment (Angelico), a painting by Fra Angelico
- The Last Judgment (Rogier van der Weyden), a triptych by Rogier van der Weyden
- The Last Judgment (Memling), a triptych attributed to Hans Memling
- The Last Judgment (Bosch triptych), a triptych by Hieronymus Bosch
- The Last Judgment (Bosch triptych fragment), a triptych by Hieronymus Bosch
- The Last Judgment (Michelangelo), a mural by Michelangelo
