Dear John,
That is a fascinating and most unusual Last Judgement fresco. It looks as if the
dead are being resurrected below, at the blast of the angels to either side, as is
usual, but then in the middle is what looks like the hill of calvary, with the
instruments of the Passion around the base, and another, more substantial cross on
top. Do you -- or does anyone else -- know anything about this peculiar treatment?
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
