Aside from the Last Judgment, the pictorial program consists mainly of the biblical stories long traditional in Rome. The north section contains the following, from the top to the bottom: potestates; the Creation (creation of the world, creation of Adam and Eve); the story of Joseph (Joseph's dream, Joseph relating his dream, Joseph with his brothers in Dotan); the life of Christ (Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity); the story of St John (annunciation to Zacharias, nativity of the Baptist and namegiving, the young Baptist in the wilderness).
