Last Judgment and the Wise and Foolish Virgins

The artist obviously took Rogier van der Weyden's Beaune Altarpiece as the model for his smaller-scale composition, but "corrected" it by adding the traditional little demons tormenting the damned. The representation of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, below, is a later addition on an extra piece of wood, by a Brussels painter of the last quarter of the 15th century.
