The Last Judgment 1525 - 1530

"The Last Judgment" by Joos van Cleve, painted between 1525-1530, depicts the biblical event of the Second Coming of Christ. The painting, located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, showcases Christ in a triumphant pose surrounded by angels, with the resurrected dead below. The scene is divided into two halves: heaven above, and the earth below, with Christ acting as the divider. The vivid colors and detailed figures create a dynamic and visually compelling portrayal of this pivotal moment in Christian belief.
