Last Judgement
1550
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Last Judgement is a 1550 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a chaotic scene with lots of people in the sky and on the ground. At the top, a robed man in gold and purple sits on a cloud, holding a globe. To his left, a shirtless man carries a cross. On the right, a woman in dark clothes holds a baby. Below them, angels with wings fight demons, while a crowd of people below looks scared or hurt. The painting uses strong light and dark contrasts to make figures stand out. The colors are bold—reds, golds, and deep blues—but the paint looks thick in spots. Check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama.
