The Last Judgment tympanum is a sculptural relief typically found above the entrance of medieval cathedrals, depicting the final judgment of souls as described in Christian eschatology. It often features Christ as the central figure, surrounded by angels, saints, and the resurrected dead, with the saved ascending to heaven and the damned being cast into hell. This artwork served both a decorative and didactic purpose, illustrating key theological themes and encouraging reflection on salvation and morality among worshippers. Notable examples include the tympanum at the Cathedral of Saint-Lazare in Autun, France.
