The Last Judgment
Sizes
One object, sold whole: Groeningemuseum — Musea Brugge holds it as 0000.GRO0208.I. 3 sheets, one edition, $349 — the printed panels hang level within 0.0%.
Bosch's Bruges Last Judgment puts its weight on the world and leaves the verdict to the sky. The Groeningemuseum describes a typically Boschian universe: paradise on the left wing, hell on the right, both crowded with extraordinary people, animals and fantastical creatures.
The Web Gallery of Art's commentary names the argument of the center: all-besetting evil and perennial human stupidity that make the world a hell even before the day of judgment.
The museum reads the triptych as a conversation piece, made to be argued over. The center panel opens the argument, its torments already under way below the judge.
The panels hang in a row at one image height; the hung images measure about 27.6 in across, before any gap between frames.

Printed on demand as one edition. The whole image is printed on every sheet — never cropped to fit — so each panel carries an archival margin.
