The Last Judgement in the Bolognini Chapel in Bologna
The Last Judgement in the Bolognini Chapel in Bologna
One of the most iconic works of art in the Italian heritage is certainly the wall of the Bolognini Chapel (known as the Chapel of the Magi) inside the Cathedral of Bologna.
Unfortunately I had to shoot at an angle but you can still see and appreciate many of the famous details of both the Inferno and the Paradiso conceived by Giovanni da Modena.

Chapel of the Three Kings, formerly Bolognini: Gothic marble transenna designed by Antonio di Vincenzo (1400); on the altar a wooden polyptych with twenty-seven carved and painted figures, the work of Jacopo di Paolo. The walls were frescoed by Giovanni da Modena and Francesco Alberti with a cycle depicting Episodes from the life of Saint Petronius, on the back wall; on the right wall, Stories of the Three Kings; on the left wall, at the top, the Last Judgement with the Coronation of the Virgin in a mandorla, Paradise and at the bottom Hell, a Dante-style depiction.

Non sapevo proprio in quale chiesa e citta’ fosse, grazie!
Il Giudizio Universale nella Cappella Bolognini, situata all’interno della Basilica di San Petronio a Bologna, è un’opera straordinaria realizzata da Giovanni da Modena. Questo affresco, creato nel XV secolo, è una delle rappresentazioni più iconiche del Giudizio Universale in Italia.
L’affresco è diviso in tre parti principali:
1 – Il Paradiso, situato nella parte superiore, con l’Incoronazione della Vergine.
2 – Il Giudizio Universale, al centro, con Cristo che giudica le anime.
3 – L’Inferno, nella parte inferiore, con una rappresentazione vivida e dettagliata delle pene infernali, ispirata alla Divina Commedia di Dante.
