Description:
|
This panel of an unusual shape (round with a rectangular base) comes from the Oratory of S. Gregorio Nazianzeno in Rome. The depiction of the Last Judgment is divided into five overlapping phases, each with an explicative text in Latin. The donors are portrayed and identified by a text at the bottom: the abbess Costanza and the nun Benedetta. The work is signed by Nicolaus and Johannes. The dating is quite controversial. In the past it oscillated between the end of the XI and the second half of the XII centuries, whereas today the latter is considered the most likely.
