The Final Judgment and the Second Coming

The icon of the Last Judgement is one of the most complex Christian images.  As depicting the final things, it is a synthesis of the cosmic mystery. As an image of judgement, it is also the place where everything is resolved by Christ.  From the very first moments in my burgeoning interest in iconology, I have focused on this image, seeing it not only as the image of a cosmic culmination, but also as the culmination of iconography itself. 

A fabulous, traditional Greek-Orthodox Byzantine icon in canonical iconographic style. Lithography, pressed wood, gold-imprinting.
