Few subjects in Christianity have inspired artists as much as the
last judgment. Last Judgment Iconography in the Carpathians
examines images of the last judgment from the fifteenth century to
the present in the Carpathian mountain region of Ukraine, Poland,
Slovakia, and Romania, as a way to consider history free from the
traditional frameworks and narratives of nations. Over ten years,
John-Paul Himka studied last-judgment images throughout the
Carpathians and found a distinctive and transnational blending of
Gothic, Byzantine, and Novgorodian art in the region. Piecing
together the story of how these images were produced and how they
developed, Himka traces their origins on linden boards and their
evolution on canvas and church walls. Tracing their origins with
monks, he follows these images' increased popularity as they were
commissioned by peasants and shepherds whose tastes so shocked
bishops that they ordered the destruction of depictions of sexual
themes and grotesque forms of torture. A richly illustrated and
detailed account of history through a style of art, Last Judgment
Iconography in the Carpathians will find a receptive audience with
art historians, religious scholars, and slavists.
