"Das Jüngste Gericht" (The Last Judgment) is an etching by Daniel Hopfer (circa 1470–1536), a German artist who is credited with being one of the pioneers in the use of etching for printmaking. Hopfer, originally a craftsman working in armour decoration, adapted the technique of etching from his work on armour to printmaking, which was revolutionary because it allowed for more detailed and intricate designs than the traditional woodcut prints of the time.

The etching "Das Jüngste Gericht" is a striking example of Hopfer's skill and innovation in this medium. The work depicts the Christian eschatological narrative of the Last Judgment, where souls are judged by Christ at the end of the world. It is characterized by its dramatic composition, with figures of the resurrected dead rising from their graves to face judgment, while angels and demons are engaged in the battle for souls.

The etching is notable for its fine lines and detailed rendering, showcasing Hopfer's ability to create a sense of depth and texture that was not commonly seen in prints of this period. The use of etching allowed Hopfer to achieve a level of detail that would have been difficult, if not impossible, to replicate in woodcuts, thus marking a significant development in the art of printmaking.

Hopfer's work, including "Das Jüngste Gericht," had a considerable influence on the printmaking of his time and after. His innovative approach to etching laid the groundwork for future artists, and his prints are considered important examples of early Renaissance art in Germany.

As an artist, Daniel Hopfer is remembered for his contributions to the development of etching as an artistic medium, and "Das Jüngste Gericht" remains one of his most recognized works, appreciated for its technical mastery and its vivid portrayal of a powerful religious scene.
