The Last Judgment (Memling)
- The Last Judgment (Memling)
"The Last Judgment", found in the National Museum in Gdańsk in Poland, is a triptych attributed to Hans Memling and was painted between 1467 and 1471. It was commissioned by an agent of the Medici at Bruges but was captured by a privateer from Danzig (Gdańsk), Poland. It was placed in the Basilica of the Assumption but was moved in the twentieth century to its present location. The central panel shows Jesus sitting in Judgment on the world, while St Michael the Archangel is weighing souls and driving the Damned towards Hell. On the left hand panel the Saved are being guided into Heaven by St Peter and Angels. On the right-hand panel the Damned are being dragged to Hell.
