Entering the cathedral in Amiens - a photo on Flickriver

The tympanum depicts the Last Judgement, though only the upper part, with a seated Jesus in the middle, can be seen here.

The cathedral, Notre-Dame d'Amiens, dates to the 13th century - founded in 1220 and consecrated some 50 years later, though some work on the church still remained then. The first architect was Robert de Luzarches, who worked on the church until 1228, he was followed by Thomas de Cormont who continued on the work for some 30 years, and then the work was finished by his son Renaud de Cormont. The cathedral is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
