Laatste Oordeel 1520 - 1580

"Laatste Oordeel" is a 16th century anonymous engraving depicting the Last Judgement, a common theme in religious art. The central figure of Christ sits on a rainbow above a celestial sphere, surrounded by angels and demons. Below, the damned suffer in a chaotic landscape, while the saved ascend to heaven. This artwork likely served as a reminder of the consequences of sin and the importance of salvation. The detailed and intricate imagery, characteristic of Northern Renaissance art, further emphasizes the dramatic and symbolic nature of the subject matter.
