NETHERLANDS---For the coming two years the
Rijksmuseum’s Gallery of Honour is hosting '
The Last Judgement' (1526-27), the sixteenth-century work of genius by
Lucas van Leyden. Over the last 450 years the altarpiece has left Leiden for brief periods only twice, which makes its temporary relocation to Amsterdam a historic event. The triptych is without doubt the jewel in the crown of Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden, which is scheduled to close its doors this autumn for a large-scale renovation and extension project. 'The Last Judgement' is on show in the Rijksmuseum’s Gallery of Honour from 23 August. [
