Het laatste oordeel 1548

"Het laatste oordeel" (The Last Judgement) is a 1548 engraving by Nicolò della Casa. The artwork, measuring 478 mm in height and 334 mm in width, depicts a dramatic scene of the Last Judgement, with a large group of figures ascending to heaven while others are cast down. The detailed composition, the intricate anatomy of the figures, and the overall sense of dynamism are characteristic of the Italian Renaissance. This engraving is a powerful illustration of the Last Judgement, a popular theme in Renaissance art. The work is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the 16th century.
