ANTWERP SCHOOL 17th CENTURY, FOLLOWER OF JACOB DE BACKER, THE LAST JUDGEMENT, OIL ON PANEL, UNFRAMED

This painting relates to the Last Judgement by Jacob de Backer (1555-1585) in the Museum Wuyts-Van Campen in Lier (inv. 76). In both the same frightened figure, raising both arms, in the lower right-hand corner can be seen. This biblical theme was treated on several occasions by the Antwerp artist. In the context of the Counter-Reformation, the depiction of the Last Judgement was of vital importance, as it was part of the Catholic Church's desire to reaffirm its dogmas in the face of the rise of Protestantism.
