The Last Judgment

William Blake, ca. 1809

The artwork features a composition of swirling lines and shapes, creating an abstract depiction of numerous figures and scenes. At the center, a prominent figure is surrounded by a circular motif with radiating lines, drawing attention to a focal point. Below, multiple figures ascend and descend, their forms interwoven. On the sides, other figures are positioned in a symmetrical, orderly manner. The scene shows movement and dynamism.
