Oil on wood, 215 x 560 cmMusée de l'Hôtel Dieu, Beaune.
At the top is Jesus Christ. A sword comes out of his mouth and so does a palm branch. At the center, the Archangel Michael weighs the souls.
Some souls enter Paradise; the other souls, Hell. Most souls come out of the graves which are depicted as holes.
Paradise is depicted as a gate to a castle with a huge light shining out of it. The people walk calmly towards it and clasp their hands in prayer, while an Angel stands by the gate.
Hell is depicted as a gloomy fiery place, and the people heading towards it are screaming and crying.
