"The Last Judgment" is an engraving created by Pieter van der Heyden based on a design by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a renowned Flemish Renaissance artist. This work, produced circa 1558, is part of a series of engravings that depict scenes from the Christian eschatological narrative. The engraving illustrates the final judgment as described in the Christian faith, where the souls of the dead are judged by Christ and sent to their eternal destinies.

In the composition, Bruegel's intricate design is brought to life by van der Heyden's meticulous engraving skills. The scene is typically Bruegelian, filled with a multitude of figures and a rich tapestry of human activity, showcasing both the salvation of the blessed and the damnation of the sinners. The central figure of Christ is often depicted in a mandorla, surrounded by the instruments of the Passion and flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, with the apostles seated in judgment around them.

The engraving is notable for its detailed representation of the chaotic and tumultuous events of the Last Judgment, with angels and demons actively participating in the sorting of souls. The work reflects the religious beliefs and iconography of the time, as well as Bruegel's fascination with human folly and the moralistic themes that pervade his oeuvre.

"The Last Judgment" by Pieter van der Heyden after Pieter Bruegel the Elder is an important work in the history of Northern Renaissance art, exemplifying the collaboration between designer and printmaker that was common in the period. It remains a significant piece for its artistic merit and its depiction of a theme that has captivated the imagination of artists and theologians for centuries.
