Christ Tells His Disciples of the Last Judgment

Christoph Murer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of figures rising from the ground. The drawing depicts multiple human figures emerging from a mass of bones and earth. The central figure, with long flowing hair and beard, is kneeling and seems to be addressing the sky, where rays of light descend from the clouds. The other figures around him are in various poses of ascent and movement. The scene is detailed with intricate use of lines to create texture and depth. The sky is filled with clouds.
