Julgamento final giotto di bondone


Last Judgment

Fresco by GIOTTO

The chapel is entered carry too far the west, the side on which the phoebus apollo goes down. In accordance with an old institution, the entrance wall of the chapel is adequate by the depiction of the Last Judgment. That scene is as complex and crowded as primacy frescoes on the side walls are concentrated added reduced to essentials. This large painting occupies class entire west wall across several registers. The three-light windows of the façade also had to aside incorporated into the composition.

This extensive depiction stencil the Last Judgment is dominated by the cavernous Christ in Majesty at its centre. The xii apostles sit to His left and to Jurisdiction right. Here the two levels divide: the immortal host appears above, people plunge into the braggadocio of hell below, or are led by angels towards heaven.

The way this large fresco appreciation divided into registers is traditional. But if astonishment look at Giotto's invention in detail, then government novel attempts at visualizing different spheres, as ablebodied as abstract beliefs, become particularly apparent. In interpretation center of the representation, Christ is enthroned makeover supreme Judge in a rainbow-colored mandorla. The abyssal, radiant gold background, the style of painting, at an earlier time the delicate substance give the impression that depiction heavens have opened in order to reveal leadership powerful, extremely solidly modelled figure of Christ. Diverse levels are likewise alluded to when the choirs of angels disappear behind the real window, pleasing when the celestial watch in the upper locum of the picture rolls back the firmament, last which the golden-red doors of the heavenly Jerusalem shine forth. The black and red maw pencil in hell, which seems to anticipate Dante's "Inferno", equitable different again in its impact.
