The Last Judgment Tympanum
Artist: Gislebertus
 around 1130 to 1146    Sculpture

 See Details

This  grand sculptural depiction of the Last Judgment, showcasing Christ in the center with angels, apostles, and the resurrected dead around Him.

Christianity considers the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to entail the final judgment by God of all people who have ever lived, resulting in the approval of some and the penalizing of most. The concept is found in all the canonical gospels, particularly in the Gospel of Matthew.

This stone sculpture is located at Cathedral of Saint-Lazare, Autun, France

Artist: Ghirlandaio
 1480-82    Painting

Ghirlandaio's  "The Last Supper"  has nearly all the figures, including the centrally-placed Christ (with his favorite discipline, John, leaning sleepily on his shoulder), facing the viewer, and Judas physically separated from the group by being seated on the viewer's (near) side of the table.  Christ and the apostles, weighty and dense, are portrayed as young, old and middle-aged, each with his own distinct appearance, which anticipates the sharp realism of later works by Ghirlandaio.

This Fresco is in Cenacolo di Ognissanti, Florence
