"Laatste Oordeel" (Last Judgement) is a 1569 engraving by Philips Galle, a prominent Flemish printmaker. The circular composition depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, showing God seated in judgement over humanity. Surrounding God are angels and the Virgin Mary, while below a multitude of souls face their fate. The dramatic and detailed work reflects the artistic style of the Northern Renaissance. It is on display at the Rijksmuseum.
