In the picture, pairs of guardian angels lead the naked souls of the righteous, who deserve eternal bliss, from the darkness beyond the grave, through a tunnel made up of concentric rings of light, to Eternity, permeated with the unearthly heavenly radiance. At the end of the tunnel, waiting for the hero, perhaps there is an angel or Saint Peter.
The concentric circles
range in shades from dark blue to blue. But what we see as a tunnel of seven
segments is most likely the seven planetary spheres between the Earth and the
Empyrean. This point of view was more widespread in the 15th century; there was
no talk of a tunnel then.
