Icons and murals depicting the biblical scene of the Last Judgment
adorned many Eastern-rite churches in medieval and early modern
Ukraine. Dating from the twelfth to the eighteenth centuries, these
images were extraordinarily elaborate, composed of dozens of
discrete elements reflecting Byzantine, Novgorodian, Moldavian, and
Catholic influences, in addition to local and regional traditions.
Over time, the details of the iconography evolved in response to
changing cultural resources, the conditions of material life at the
time, and new trends in mentality and taste. The World to Come
lists and describes more than eighty Last Judgment images from
present-day Ukraine, eastern Slovakia, and southeastern Poland,
making it the largest compilation of its kind. Photographs show
overviews and details of the images, and most are printed in full
color. The icons and murals provide a valuable source of knowledge
about the culture in which they were created: what was meant by
good and evil, what was prophesied for the future, and what awaited
in the afterlife.
