La puerta del Juicio Final de la catedral de Tudela. Límites visuales, historiográficos y topográficos [The door of the Last Judgement in Tudela Cathedral. Visual, historiographical and topographic limits]

Abstract

The taking into consideration of sculptural elements considered marginal by traditional historiography allowed to raise again the program as a whole. The proposal in this work is consolidated after confirming that it matches to French iconographic tradition, supporting the identification of the waiting place between the individual judgement and the Last Judgement. It’s proposed a comprehensive interpretation of the door and the inside of the temple, ending in the White Virgin image, based on the Oracles of the Sibyl about the First and the Second Coming and its presence in the liturgy.
