The Last Judgment with the Apostles

About this work

This image shows a busy, crowded scene with lots of people reaching upward. At the top center, one figure with a halo floats above the crowd, holding a cross-topped staff. Below, smaller figures—some kneeling, some standing—wear robes in red, green, and brown. A few hold books or crosses, while others look down or reach toward the sky. Notice the flat, blocky shapes and simple outlines—this isn’t a smooth painting. The colors are bright but faded, like old stains. The people all look stiff, almost like cut-out figures. This style comes from the technique: woodcut.
