Christ Tells His Disciples of the Last Judgment is a 1630 ink by Christoph Murer, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a woodcut print of a scene from the Bible. In the center, Jesus is depicted standing on a cloud, surrounded by a group of people who appear to be his disciples. They are all looking up at him with concerned expressions. The scene is set against a dark and ominous background, with clouds and shadows that add to the sense of foreboding. The disciples are dressed in simple robes, while Jesus is shown wearing a long, flowing cloak. The level of detail in the print is impressive, with intricate lines and textures that give the image a sense of depth and dimensionality.
