This etching, *De laatste bazuin of het verrijzen der doden (dl. 7)*, created in 1720 by Dutch artist Jan de Ridder, depicts a dramatic scene of the Last Judgement. The title, which translates to “The Last Trumpet, or the Resurrection of the Dead”, alludes to the biblical event described in the Book of Revelation. This artwork is part of a larger series, *De laatſte Bafuyne*, which explores themes of sin, judgment, and salvation. De Ridder’s etching vividly conveys the fear and desperation of those facing divine judgment, with figures contorted in agony and the sky filled with swirling clouds and flames. This work is a prime example of the artist’s mastery of detail and his ability to evoke powerful emotions through the medium of printmaking.
