Last Judgment

Frühe Holzschnitte, ca. 1460/1470

This is a painting of a central skeletal figure with a crown and two figures, one on each side, with halos. The image depicts a skeletal, crowned figure seated in the center, draped in pink and green fabric, and holding a long-stemmed flower in one hand. The figure is flanked by two other haloed figures, one cloaked in purple and the other in yellow, both kneeling in reverence. Additionally, two small skulls are positioned at the base of the central figure’s seat. The style uses bold outlines and vibrant colors reminiscent of religious iconography.
