The central image shows the three main characters of the New Testament. Christ in his role as judge occupies the center of the scene. Returned to him, the Virgin left and Saint John the Baptist to the right, they tend the hands in prayer, begging mercy for humanity. Don’t you consider the chronology of their terrestrial lives. They surround them angels, Apostles and prophets.
