The Last Judgment is a 1850 by Alexandre-Charles Guillemot, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print is packed with tiny, swirling figures in a chaotic scene. At the top, a few people float upward while others below scramble or sink. The bottom has a fence with geometric shapes and the words *Jugement Dernier*—French for "Last Judgment"—written under it. The artist crammed so many bodies into the scene that faces and limbs blur together. It’s like watching a crowded, dramatic story unfold all at once. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
A print on paper titled *The Last Judgment*, after Michelangelo, rendered in outline, was published in Paris at the address Quai Malaquais, 1 by Danlos.
