El retorno de Cristo

Radiant glory breaks open the storm-filled heavens as Jesus Christ returns with hosts of angels sounding trumpets. Below, the gathered crowd reacts with sharply divided responses: some lift their hands in worship and deliverance, while others recoil in terror and hide their faces. Lightning, clouds, and descending messengers frame the scene as a dramatic portrayal of the Second Coming, when Christ is revealed as King and Judge.

The composition reflects the biblical promise that the Son of Man will appear in the clouds with power and great glory, and that angels will gather His elect at the sound of the trumpet. It also carries the sobering contrast found in apocalyptic passages: the faithful look upward in hope, while the unprepared tremble before the unveiled majesty of the Lord.
