Laatste Oordeel
About the work
In the museum's own words — in Dutch
Christus troont als rechter op de wolken, omgeven door heiligen en apostelen. Op aarde staan de mensen op uit hun graf en worden verdeeld onder de engelen en duivels. Prent uit een serie van negen prenten met triomfwagens uit de Antwerpse Besnijdenis-ommegang van 1561. De personificaties op de wagens verbeelden samen de kringloop van het menselijk handelen. De serie wordt afgesloten door dit Laatste Oordeel, dat traditioneel op de laatste wagen in de ommegang uitgebeeld werd.
