medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In the Chruch of Santa Maria Assunta, in Torcello (Venice), there is a mosaic with Byzantine influence, in which St. Michael is shown weighing souls:  http://www.art-history-images.com/photo?id=8813 

Petrus Christus' Last Judgment is quite similar to the one painted by Van Eyck, today at the Metropolitan, which was painted around 1430s:  http://www.casa-in-italia.com/artpx/flem/images/Van_Eyck_Metropolitan_Crucifixion_Last_Judgment.JPG

That should, of course, be number 5 rather than 6.

Gather ye Rose-buds while ye may,
Old Time is still a flying:
And this same flower that smiles to day,
To morrow will be dying.


Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
