Dittico con l'Incoronazione della Vergine e il Giudizio universale

ca. 1260–70
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 13
Lo straordinario intaglio ad alto rilievo di questo dittico trasporta la narrazione delle scene raffigurate su un palcoscenico in miniatura in cui le minute figure sembrano muoversi e gesticolare liberamente. Al di sotto dell’Incoronazione della Vergine, un frate appare alla testa dei personaggi guidati da un angelo verso la scala che conduce in cielo, seguito da un re e da un papa. Sulla destra la Vergine e san Giovanni Battista sono inginocchiati davanti a Cristo, seduto sul trono del giudizio; nel registro sottostante gli angeli risvegliano i morti suonando le trombe del giudizio, mentre i diavoli spingono i peccatori nelle fauci dell’inferno.
