Het laatste oordeel, blad A 1530 - 1582

"Het laatste oordeel, blad A" is a black and white etching by Giorgio Ghisi, dated 1530 - 1582. The artwork, now held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a scene from the Last Judgement, with several figures struggling to move a heavy object, possibly a beam or a coffin. The use of chiaroscuro and the dynamic poses of the figures creates a sense of drama and movement, typical of Mannerist style. Ghisi’s engraving captures the raw power of the divine judgment in a visually captivating way.
