The Last Judgment (Portal at Autun)

The Last Judgment sculpture at the portal of Autun Cathedral, created by the artist Gislebertus in the 12th century, depicts the final judgment of souls at the end of time, a key Christian theme. Christ sits at the center, surrounded by angels, saints, and the resurrected dead. Those condemned are depicted to the left, facing punishment, while the saved ascend to heaven on the right. This dramatic and intricate relief serves both as a religious reminder of moral responsibility and as a visual narrative to educate and inspire the faithful who entered the cathedral.
