The panel of The Last Judgement by Coppo di Marcovaldo on the ceiling of The Battistero of San Giovanni Florence


The Florence Baptistery or Battistero di San Giovanni (Baptistery of St. John) is crowned by a magnificent mosaic largest panel depicts the resurected 'Jesus'. The earliest mosaics, works of art of many unknown Venetian craftsmen (including probably Cimabue), date from 1225. The covering of the ceiling started under the direction of the Franciscan friar Jacopo da Torrita and was probably not completed until the fourteenth century.
