Laatste Oordeel en symbolen voor de zeven werken van barmhartigheid 1577

"Laatste Oordeel en symbolen voor de zeven werken van barmhartigheid," a 1577 engraving by Philips Galle, depicts the Last Judgement and the seven Corporal Works of Mercy. The scene is divided into nine panels. The central panel shows Christ seated on a throne, surrounded by angels and the blessed. The other panels illustrate the seven works of mercy, such as feeding the hungry and clothing the naked. The engraving is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. This print was designed by Philips Galle, a Flemish engraver who was known for his work on book illustrations and religious subjects. Galle's work is characterized by its meticulous detail and its use of dramatic lighting effects.
