Das Jüngste Gericht

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork depicts a black-and-white woodcut scene. The central figure of Jesus Christ, surrounded by an oval frame, sits on a throne-like object with one hand raised in a gesture. Two angels are on each side at the top. On the bottom, two distinct groups of people are shown; on the left, several are gathered in a line looking to their right; on the right, several are depicted with grotesque and demonic faces. A crucifixion scene is centered below Christ, and a kneeling figure wearing a halo is on both sides of Christ. The text at the top appears to be written in an old-fashioned font. Title: Das Jüngste Gericht, Artist: Albrecht Dürer.
