Judgement
Sargent, John Singer, 1856-1925 · [ca. 1903–1916]
This central lunette along the west wall illustrates the weighing of souls that had approached the gates of Heaven. A trumpet calls souls to the scales held by an angel at center. Those who are "just" will be directed to the Heaven panel, at left; those who are deemed unjust will proceed to the bowels of Hell, the neighboring lunette to the right.
