Leaf from a Book of Hours: The Last Judgment

Master of Guillebert de Mets

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a medieval-style illustration of The Last Judgment. The central figure is a bearded man with a halo, wearing a pink robe and sitting on a throne; he is bare-chested. Two angels with halos are on either side of him, and two smaller angels are at the top. The central figure holds his right hand up and grasps a cloth with his left. The background of the central panel is dark blue with gold dots. The border is ornate and features a variety of colorful flowers, leaves, and insects. The bottom center shows a scene with a man in white and people in a green field, one of whom is being pulled into a mouth of hell by demons. The right side shows a scene with people being led by a figure in red. The artwork appears to be on aged paper with rough, torn edges. The style suggests it was created in the early 15th century. The image is titled "Leaf from a Book of Hours: The Last Judgment" by Master of Guillebert de Mets.
