The Last Judgment

Albrecht Altdorfer, ca. 1513

This is a drawing of a seated, haloed figure surrounded by other figures and two cherubs. The central figure is seated on a sphere with beams of light emanating from the head. The scene includes multiple figures in various poses, either kneeling or gesturing, creating a sense of reverence. Two cherubs are depicted in the sky blowing trumpets. The artwork is rendered in a detailed, line-based engraving style typical of religious iconography that emphasizes the haloed figure as the focal point.
