The artwork, titled “Last Judgement,” was created by Orthodox Icons in 1662 and falls under the Galicia-Volyn school art movement. It belongs to the genre of icons and is part of the series “Holidays and Events of Sacred History.”
The artwork is an intricate iconographic depiction of the Last Judgement, a scene that holds great significance in Christian eschatology. The central panel is dominated by an image of Christ enthroned in glory, flanked by angels and saints. Below Christ, the saved are depicted on one side, while the damned are shown on the other, illustrating the dichotomy of judgement. The upper portion features a portrayal of God the Father overseeing the judgement. Various elements, including the scales of justice and scenes of resurrection, are meticulously detailed, emphasizing themes of divine justice and mercy. The right side showcases scenes from the lives of the saints and their trials, symbolizing their piety and faith. The left side illustrates the procession of the righteous entering paradise. The overall composition is rich with theological symbolism and serves as a visual catechism, conveying moral and doctrinal lessons to the viewer. The use of vivid colors and detailed figures reflects the distinct style and spiritual fervor of the Galicia-Volyn school.
