# Last Judgment [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [COUSIN, Jean the Younger]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 145 x 142 cm ## Commentary The Last Judgment is the only painting which can be definitely ascribed to Jean Cousin the Younger. It shows his style in later life: innumerable figures in a vast space but on a small canvas. It is painted with great finesse but little energy and displays a sophisticated sense of colour. Here he is playing on the theme of the puniness of humanity, which is made to swarm over the earth like worms. His formula is a Florentine one, although the actual types of figures suggest a Flemish influence. ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
