The Last Judgement

About this work

This print is packed with tiny, swirling figures. Some float in the sky, others struggle below. At the center, a robed figure holds a cross while people rise or sink around them. The top corners show faces in ovals, watching the scene. Shadows and lines create deep textures—no color, just light and dark. The artist used tiny marks to build up detail, layering lines to make shadows. This kind of printmaking is called engraving. Try looking up engraving to see how artists carve images into metal.
