Buonamico Buffalmacco V – The Last Judgment
The hierarchies of the blessed.
The blessed are divided into overlapping groups in hierarchical order, pleading and adoring and facing the Judge. Below the patriarchs, with Adam and Eve now in old age, are the Baptist and the saints (Dominic, Francis with his stigmata, and Benedict), and then the “choir” of popes, bishops, prelates, and kings. Lower down, the company of merchants and knights and, lastly, the world of women. A vista of people praying in Paradise, where Christ the Lamb “is the shepherd” (Apocalypse 7: 17).
