Title:Last Judgment; the Elect in Heaven
Notes:This complex representation of the Last Judgment at Conques includes biblical, patristic, and cultural interpretations, but it is primarily based upon the Last Judgment passage in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 25, verses 31-46. Included in this image are figures of Charlemagne, Peter and Mary. Angels carry torches beneath the figure of Christ, "the sun will become dark, the moon will no longer shine."
