The Last Judgment: Fresco Cycle at Cozia Monastery

The upper portion displays a chaotic, panoramic vision of the Last Judgment. Angels and demons interact with human figures; on the left, an angel holds a scale to weigh souls, while figures are led toward a river of fire containing the damned. Demons with tails and horns torment naked souls in the landscape. Below this eschatological scene is a horizontal band containing four full-length, haloed saints painted against a dark background, each wearing ornate Byzantine-style liturgical vestments and holding religious attributes like crosses and a model of a church.

This fresco represents the traditional Orthodox iconography of the Last Judgment, drawing heavily from the theology found in the Apocalypse of Paul and Byzantine monastic art traditions prevalent in Wallachian churches.
