Two panel paintings attributed to Jan van Eyck

The Crucifixion and Last Judgement diptych (or Diptych with Calvary and Last Judgement)^[1] consists of two small painted panels attributed to the Early Netherlandish artist Jan van Eyck, with areas finished by unidentified followers or members of his workshop.

This diptych is one of the early Northern Renaissanceoil-on-panel masterpieces, renowned for its unusually complex and highly detailed iconography, and for the technical skill evident in its completion. It was executed in a miniature format; the panels are just 56.5 cm (22.2 in) high by 19.7 cm (7.8 in) wide.
