The title of the painting is Last Judgment by Giotto di Bondone better known as Giotto. This painting was created c.1305 at Arena Chapel also known as The Scrovegni Chapel, a church located in Padua, Veneto, Italy. The painting is an enormous 33 ft, 27 ft. ¾ inches. This is the largest fresco in the chapel. It covers the entire entrance wall and is the last image visitors see as they leave. It was created by using the sinopie method. The painting can be viewed on page 230 in A History of Western Art textbook. This painting is from the Renaissance Era which explains many of the advanced techniques used like modeling and the use of light. The Last Judgment has a large image of Christ in Majesty in the center and by using a raking scale he is larger than the rest of the characters showing his importance. He has a golden yellow tone mandorla which symbolized the coming together of the heavens and earth. Above Him is the army of Angels waiting for Jesus’ judgment. The twelve apostles sit to His left and right. There are two levels divided into the heavens that are painted above Him, and souls that are plunged into the mouth of hell below Him. As you can see Jesus' right hand gestures towards heaven, the blessed are rising up into heaven, and Jesus’ left hand gestures downwards towards hell which the damned are being thrown into the pits of hell for an eternity of suffering, seeing this shows movement in the painting. The painters humor is shown in the tiny soul hiding behind the Cross trying to sneak from hell over to the heavenly side. These characters have more depth than in art of the past. The images of Jesus and of the devil are the most realistic in this piece. They are more rounded than the other individuals who help to instantly draw our eyes to the two most important aspects of the painting, heaven and hell. The painting best fits under the Representational category and uses accuracy and color to show more intensity. Examples would be the different shade of blue, green, yellow and white that is representing the Heavens which give a feeling of joy, and the reds, black and grey that are shown in the fiery pits of hell that are frigid. The Last Judgment tells the story of Jesus that returns to judge the world at the end of time. Which is referred to The Apocalypse of Peter "And he showed me in his right hand the souls of all (people) and on the palm of his right hand the image of that which shall be fulfilled at the last day; and how the righteous and the sinners shall be separated and how those will do who are upright in heart, and how the evil-doers will be rooted out for all eternity." This exact description of the end of time is what is depicted in this painting by Giotto. This painting shows Jesus returning to earth with great power and glory to judge over the living and the dead. The painting seems believable to the story that The Apocalypse of Peter tells. I think it is difficult to decide how this last Judgment Day would occur except for what I interpret from the bible and other texts. Giotto uses his own thoughts of what will happen on Judgment Day in order to create this interpretation of the Last Judgment. This painting makes me feel optimistic knowing that there is a better place that awaits when it is my time.
