The Last Judgement

The Last Judgement

The entire eastern wall of the old wing of the refectory hosts a huge and complex 16th-century fresco representation of The Last Judgement. At the top centre, Christ, seated on his throne, judges the souls one by one. He is flanked by the Virgin Mary and the apostles. Below the throne, directly in front of Christ, each individual soul stands, while the responsible angels weigh the deeds of the individual's lifetime on a scale. Depending on the result, the soul is then led either to hell, on the left of Christ, or to paradise, on the right.
