Das Jüngste Gericht

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white woodcut print, "Das Jüngste Gericht" by Albrecht Dürer, depicting the Last Judgment scene. The image is divided into sections, with Jesus Christ seated on a throne at the top center, wearing a large halo, with his right hand raised and left hand holding a sword. Two rows of angels and saints surround him. The Virgin Mary is on the left, and an apostle or saint is on the right, below Jesus. The bottom section shows hell with people being pulled into it by demons and a boat on a river. There are flames and waves in the bottom right corner. The bottom of the image has a line of text in a foreign language, possibly Latin. The image depicts a chaotic scene with many figures and detailed linework.
