Detail from the fresco by Buonamico Buffalmacco entitled "The Last Judgement". The fresco, painted between 1336 and 1341, was partly destroyed during WW2, and is currently being restored. In this section St Michael is pointing to the right where the saved stand his sword holds back those that are damned. Also in this section angels are also pushing back the damned, whilst an angel in the foreground leads someone to those that are saved, the central figure of St Michael seems to point the way.
