The “large” in The Large Last Judgment (Das Große Jüngste Gericht), 1617, by Rubens refers to its size. This monumental work is enormous: it measures 608,5 x 463,5 cm (240 x 183 inches). It is the largest painting in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich and still hangs where Leo van Klenze placed it in 1836 — in Gallery VII in the center of the museum opposite the cut-out to Room 12, so visitors may appreciate it in its full length from a greater distance. In Room 12, Rubens’ The Small Last Judgement (Das Kleine Jüngste Gericht), c. 1621, measures only 185 x 120 cm
