The Beaune Altarpiece is a large polyptych altarpiece by the Early Netherlandish artist Rogier van der Weyden. It consists of fifteen paintings spread across nine panels, of which six are painted on both sides. The inner panels contain scenes from the Last Judgement, with a central image that shows Christ seated in judgment. Below him the Archangel Michael holds scales as he weighs souls. The panel on Christ's far right shows the gates of Heaven, that to his far left the entrance to Hell; souls are shown moving towards each after being judged. The altarpiecce has suffered from extensive paint loss, darkening of its colours, and an accumulation of dirt. It was commissioned in 1443 for the Hospices de Beaune, where it remains.
