The article discusses a Ukrainian icon depicting the Biblical Last Judgment from the village of Mshanets, Ukraine located in the National Museum of Lviv, Ukraine. The author is largely concerned with describing the contents and layout of this relatively large icon, with emphasis given to the influence of Byzantine, and therefore Western, art on the work's iconography.
