The Last Judgment (Michelangelo)

Worcester Cathedral, is an Anglican cathedral in Worcester, England, situated on a bank overlooking the
River Severn. It is the seat of the Bishop of Worcester. Its official name is the Cathedral Church of Christ
and the Blessed Mary the Virgin of Worcester. The present cathedral church was built between 1084
and 1504, and represents every style of English architecture from Norman to Perpendicular Gothic. It is
famous for its Norman crypt and unique chapter house, its unusual Transitional Gothic bays, its fine
woodwork and its "exquisite" central tower,[1] which is of particularly fine proportions
Christ in Majesty

Christ in Majesty or Christ in Glory is the Western Christian image of Christ seated on a throne as ruler
of the world, always seen frontally in the centre of the composition, and often flanked by other sacred
figures, whose membership changes over time and according to the context. The image develops from
Early Christian art, as a depiction of the Heavenly throne as described in 1 Enoch, Daniel 7, and The
Apocalypse of John. In the Byzantine world, the image developed slightly differently into the half-length
Christ Pantocrator, "Christ, Ruler of All", a usually unaccompanied figure, and the Deesis, where a full-
length enthroned Christ is entreated by Mary and St. John the Baptist, and often other figures. In the
West, the evolving composition remains very consistent within each period until the Renaissance, and
then remains important until the end of the Baroque, in which the image is ordinarily transported to the
sky.
