A scene usually painted on the west wall showing the end of the world: Christ judges, the righteous go to Paradise and sinners to hell.
Scena ocupă de regulă întregul perete de apus — pe care credincioșii îl văd când ies din biserică — sau fațada de vest, ca la Voroneț. Este organizată în registre: sus Hristos Judecător, la mijloc Hetimasia (tronul pregătit), dedesubt râul de foc, cântarul faptelor, Raiul și iadul.
Judecata de Apoi de la Voroneț (secolul al XVI-lea) este una dintre cele mai cunoscute picturi ale artei medievale românești.
