The Beaune Altarpiece is a large polyptych altarpiece by the Early Netherlandish artist Rogier van der Weyden. It was painted in oil on oak panels, with parts later transferred to canvas. There are fifteen paintings on nine panels; six are painted on both sides. The inner panels contain scenes from the Last Judgement; the large central panel shows Christ seated on a rainbow in judgment, his feet resting on a golden globe. 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 to their final destinations after receiving judgement. Commissioned in 1443 for the Hospices de Beaune by Nicolas Rolin, it remains there now, though not in its original position: it was moved in the 20th century to shield it from sunlight and better protect it from the almost 300,000 visitors it receives annually.
