- Abstract
This article briefly considers the connection between Christianity and images, which began in the first centuries of Christian era. It then concisely analyzes topics related to the expected functions of religious images in Western medieval world. After these considerations, this article shall analyze possible sociopolitical interpretations of visual depictions of the Last Judgment, discussing particularly examples produced in the Italian Peninsula. It shall briefly discuss the development of concepts such as justice and judgment, and it shall demonstrate how such sociopolitical interpretations of these paintings would ultimately be related to the religious functions of these same images.
