The artwork, “Last Judgement,” was created by Edward Burne-Jones in 1896. Crafted from stained glass, this piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and falls within the genre of design.
The artwork depicts a majestic and intricate scene, segmented into several sections by the lead lines typical of stained glass artistry. At the very top of the window, a celestial assembly is presided over by a central figure, likely representing a divine or holy being, who appears to be seated among attendant angels. Below this holy figure, another prominent character clad in red robes stands, seemingly addressing or judging the gathering beneath. The lower portion is filled with a multitude of human figures in varied stances, some appearing to be in rapt attention while others exhibit postures of supplication or awe. The rich and vibrant colors, dominated by reds, blues, and golds, contribute to the solemn and reverent atmosphere of the scene. The complexity and depth of the composition are characteristic of Burne-Jones’s meticulous and expressive style.
