The Last Judgement occupies a central position in many religious buildings, including Notre-Dame in Paris and Amiens, the Cathedral at Lyons and the large basilicas in Rome. It also appears in many smaller sculptural reliefs, in free-standing pieces, on stained glass windows, frescoes, paintings, carved objects and manuscript illuminations. A large number of these examples are illustrated in this book which takes us from the earliest examples, Byzantine art, links with the Apocalypse, examples from the west (France, Spain, Germany, England and Italy) and more scattered examples.

<p>One of the most beatiful illuminated Medieval Bibles ever.\nThe pages of the Bible Moralisée of Naples study book dive us into the universe of this superb work completed in 1350 and written in French under Robert the Wise request. The manuscript, preserved nowadays at the French National Library, is considered as a masterpiece of the Italian medieval illumination.\nThis comment volume, which has 376 pages of the highest quality bound in black fabric with French book jacket, includes the full colour copy of the images from the Bible, where gold prevails. The illustrations are divided in two groups, a first one with 128 Old Testament miniatures and a second one with 76 New Testament full page images, that follow the style of Giotto’s paintings.\nBut mainly this book includes Yves Christe and Marianne Besseyre’s professional report on each individual composition, highlighting their originality and history. Therefore, this is a very well deserved recognition to this unique work, that leads us through a century of dynastic history between France and Italy.</p>
