I've said it before and I will say it again: "UNESCO means you must go!"
The west wall, with the scene
of the Last Judgement.
A couple of scenes -- above:
the birth of Jesus. Below, the
Last Supper. I don't have any
jokes about the Last Supper
here in Padua, but just wait
until we get to Milan.
Another view of the East
Wall and the North Wall.
Some of the Last Judgement, with a
very devilish devil, consuming souls.
The Ascension of Jesus.
The ceiling of starry skies and saints.
The heavenly choir above the apostles.
Demons "welcoming" sinners in a scene
out of Giotto's friend Dante's Inferno.
Please allow me to introduce myselfI'm a man of wealth and tasteI've been around for a long, long yearStole many a man's soul and faithAnd I was 'round when Jesus ChristHad his moment of doubt and painMade damn sure that PilateWashed his hands and sealed his fate
It's amazing all the way around.
Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey.
Known as Palm Sunday. A lot
happened that week.
The betrayal of Christ, aka "The Kiss."
The yellow robe of Judas signifies
envy as he kisses Jesus.
Judas, with a devil on his back
takes his 30 pieces of silver.
