The Last Judgment (Rogier van der Weyden)
"The Last Judgment" by Rogier van der Weyden depicts the Christian belief of Christ returning at the end of time to judge souls. The painting shows the saved ascending to heaven on one side, while the damned face judgment and eternal punishment on the other. Central figures include Christ as judge, surrounded by angels and saints. The artwork emphasizes divine justice, mercy, and the moral choices of individuals, serving as both a spiritual reminder and a powerful visual representation of the afterlife and the importance of living a virtuous life.
