Tarot of Marseille: The Judgement

WHO IS THE JUDGMENT, ARCANUM 20 OF THE TAROT OF MARSEILLE?
The Judgement card, number 20 of the Tarot de Marseille, depicts an Angel holding a trumpet with a flag attached to it.

The Angel seems to float among the blue clouds and look down on the world of the living.
Rays of yellow and red shine from the clouds, symbolizing the light of heaven on earth.

The Last Judgement features three individuals: the figure in the centre is seen from behind while, next to him, a woman and a man appear to be praying.

This card evokes the idea of ​​life and death and refers to the afterlife: it brings a note of hope because it reminds humans of the dualism between the earthly and the divine.
