Beaune Altarpiece
The Beaune Altarpiece (c. 1445–50), often called The Last Judgement, is a large polyptych altarpiece by the Early Netherlandish artist Rogier van der Weyden. It was painted in oil on oak panels, with parts later transferred to canvas. It consists of fifteen paintings on nine panels; six are painted on both sides. It retains some of its original frames.
Six outer panels (or shutters) are hinged; when folded they show an exterior view of saints and the donors. The inner panels contain
9242, fol.1, paint on parchment, 15,4 × 20 cm (illustration), 42,3 × 28,8 (leaf). Apparently Rogier's only surviving miniature.
