This small, intricate engraving by German Renaissance artist Virgil Solis depicts the biblical scene of the Last Judgment. The composition shows a seated Christ as judge, angels and clouds above, and a crowd of nude figures, both ascending and descending. The scene is likely a reference to the Book of Revelation. The detail of the engraving, despite its diminutive size, reveals Solis's masterful handling of line and shading. The overall effect is dramatic and poignant, capturing the awe and terror of the Judgement Day.
