South Portal of Strasbourg Cathedral
The south portal of Strasbourg Cathedral (13th c.) shows the Virgin and Child beneath a canopy, welcoming the faithful. Above, a tympanum unfolds the Last Judgment: Christ enthroned, angels, saints, and resurrected souls. This sculpted vision, once painted, conveyed salvation and warning alike, turning the cathedral’s threshold into a theatre of eternal destiny.
