The Last Judgment (1502) is part of a series of frescoes by Luca Signorelli, at Cappella di San Brizio, Cathedral, Orvieto, Italy.

Notes

Between 1499 and 1502 Luca Signorelli completed the frescoes in the St. Brizio Chapel with scenes devoted to the end of times, under the vault where Beato Angelico in 1447 had portrayed Christ the Judge.

It is the most elaborated cycle of frescoes on the events related to the Last Judgment. It is made of several autonomous scenes:

  • (a) Preaching of the Antichrist
  • (b) End of Times
  • (c) Resurrection of the Flesh
  • (d) Last Judgment (Ascent to Heaven and Descent to Hell)
  • (e) The Damned in Hell
  • (f) The Blessed in Paradise
