"Small Passion, 36. The Last Judgment" is a woodcut print by German painter and printmaker Albrecht Dürer. Created circa1511, it is part of the series known as the "Small Passion," which comprises 37 woodcuts illustrating Christian narratives, particularly events from the life, Passion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

This particular piece, the last in the series, depicts the biblical episode known as "The Last Judgment," derived from the Book of Revelation. Following Christian eschatological belief, it portrays the end times, where a divine Jesus judges the souls of the dead, separated into the blessed, rising to heaven, and the damned, descending into hell.

Dürer's "The Last Judgment" stands out for its rich detail, dramatic expressiveness, and innovative use of perspective. The artwork exhibits his mastery in the woodcut technique, revealing precise cuts and finely executed nuances, which add to the overall intensity and depth of the image.

Although falling within the traditional iconography of its theme, Dürer's interpretation is marked with a unique artistic style. The Christ figure is located centrally in an almond-shaped mandorla radiating divine light, surrounded by the apostles and saints, while the Archangel Michael can be seen below, weighing the souls. At the bottom, the damned are shown facing various punishments, consistent with medieval depictions of infernal torment.

Despite its miniature scale, "The Last Judgment" offers a compelling articulation of Dürer's dexterity and his profound insights into religious themes. Alongside the other works in the "Small Passion" series, the woodcut remains a significant contribution to the proliferation of printed images in early 16th-century Europe, reflecting both the religious fervor of the period and the transformative impact of printmaking on the dissemination of religious and artistic ideas.
