This anonymous 19th-century print depicts the Last Judgement, a common theme in art history. The composition is divided into two sections: heaven and hell. Above, Christ presides over the saved, while below, the damned are tormented by demons. The detailed rendering of the scene creates a powerful visual contrast between salvation and damnation. The print, housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a compelling example of the enduring power of this biblical subject.
