Abstract: This article explains how the recumbent sculptures ad similitudinem of 13th- and 14th-century episcopal tombs, as well as ensuring the memory of the deceased, depict the perpetual beatific appearance that they would enjoy once they reached Heaven after being chosen on the Day of Judgement. The controversial speculation that the soul would be able to see God before reintegration with its body was not unknown in the See of Tarragona in the period from 1330 to 1350. The monumental tombs of Archbishops Juan de Aragon and Arnau Sescomes, both of whom were involved in this theological debate, refer to the past as much as to the future in simultaneous, multidirectional ways.
