A large triptych by the famous Dutch painter Lucas van Leyden. He made it for the Pieterskerk in his native city Leiden. It is one of few altarpieces that survived the 1566 iconoclast.

To the left is heaven, to the right hell. In the centre panel Jesus sits on his throne, accompanied by the apostles. Below them the Day of Judgment is happening.

1526-1527, now exposed in the Lakenhal Museum in Leiden, the Netherlands.
