Last Judgement 1525

Jan Provoost's "Last Judgement" (1525) is a dramatic altarpiece depicting the final judgment of humanity. The painting, now in the Groeningemuseum, Bruges, shows Christ as judge, seated in glory above a multitude of angels, while below, the damned suffer in a fiery hell. This 16th-century painting, typical of the Netherlandish tradition, uses vivid colors and detailed figures to powerfully convey the central theme of the Christian faith: salvation and damnation.
