This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the west front of Conques Abbey, dating back to the 11th century. The intricate artwork depicted here represents the Last Judgement and the Blessed in Heaven, offering a glimpse into the rich religious heritage of Christianity during this era.

Every minute detail has been meticulously crafted, capturing the essence of Romanesque artistry at its finest. As we delve deeper into this image, we are drawn towards a group of male figures – boys and men – who stand as witnesses to this divine event. Their expressions reflect awe and reverence as they witness souls ascending towards heaven or descending for judgment.
