Christ: Last Judgment -- Two angels playing trumpets flank Christ, nimbed, draped in mantle, showing wounds, sitting on rainbow, with feet on smaller rainbow, emanating rays, in mandorla. Below, Virgin Mary, nimbed, veiled, and John the Baptist, nimbed, kneel with joined hands raised; in background nude figures rise from graves.
