The Last Judgment is a 1526 ink by Hans Lützelburger, a Renaissance work, depicting Globe, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a dramatic scene with many figures. It's a woodcut, which is a print made from a carved wooden block. This technique was popular back then because it allowed artists to make many copies of their work. The scene is quite detailed, with lots of action going on. You can learn more about this technique by looking up the woodcut technique.
Hans Lützelburger (died June 1526), also known as Hans Franck, was a German blockcutter ("formschneider") for woodcuts, regarded as one of the finest of his day.
