The Last Judgement is a 1598 oil by Leandro Bassano, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at National Museum of Western Art.
This painting shows a crowded scene with many people, some in heaven and some in hell. In the top part, Jesus is in the center, holding a flag and wearing a white robe. He is surrounded by angels and other people in colorful robes. In the bottom part, there are many people in dark colors, some of whom are naked or wearing only loincloths. They seem to be suffering or in pain. The painting is very detailed, with many different characters and scenes. The colors are bright and vivid, especially in the top part. The bottom part is darker and more muted. The artist who painted this is Leandro Bassano.
Leandro Bassano (10 June 1557 – 15 April 1622), also called Leandro dal Ponte, was an Italian Renaissance painter from Bassano del Grappa who was awarded a knighthood by the Doge of Venice.
