This woodcut, *Christ Tells His Disciples of the Last Judgment*, is by Christoph Murer and is likely from around 1630, though Murer died in 1614. It depicts Christ in the center, addressing his disciples. The image is a powerful visual reminder of the teachings of the Bible, specifically the end times and the Last Judgment. The scene's detail and the use of light and shadow bring the story to life. The image itself is quite small, measuring only 10.5 by 14.5 cm, but its details and composition pack a punch. Murer's work is significant to the understanding of the development of woodcut printing in Germany, and his detailed engravings are characteristic of the time.
