Wassily Kandinsky’s Jüngster Tag (The Day of the Last Judgement) (1912) is a landmark of early abstract modernism, created at the height of the artist’s Der Blaue Reiter period. Painted just after he published On the Spiritual in Art, this work channels apocalyptic revelation into pure pictorial energy: color, line, and rhythm become the carriers of meaning rather than literal narrative. Intensely worked passages of blue anchor the composition, while yellow and green flash and surge across the surface, evoking the drama of judgment and renewal without depicting it directly.

This listing offers a high-quality fine art print of Kandinsky’s 1912 painting, produced on your choice of acid-free archival paper or artist’s cotton canvas. Each print is made with museum-grade inks for longevity and color fidelity, and is available in a range of sizes to suit your space. Optional framing, margins, and personalized title plates are available through The Unique Maps Co., and we’re happy to accommodate custom requests for sizing or color-matched mats.

About the artist: Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) was a pioneering figure in abstract art, celebrated for transforming music-like harmonies of color and form into a new visual language. As a central voice of Expressionism and co-founder of Der Blaue Reiter, he sought to reveal inner states—emotions, spirit, and intuition—beyond the constraints of naturalistic depiction. His work from 1911–1914 is especially prized for its incandescent palette and prophetic exploration of non-objective painting.

About the subject: The Day of the Last Judgement is steeped in themes of upheaval and transformation that fascinated avant‑garde artists in the early 20th century. Rather than illustrating biblical figures or scenes, Kandinsky conjures the idea of judgment through charged chromatic contrasts, slashing diagonals, and clustered forms that suggest gathering forces and the threshold between endings and beginnings. The year 1912 stands at a cultural turning point, and this painting embodies that sense of revelation and change.

About the style and color: A dominant field of deep, saturated blue creates a spiritual and spatial depth, while radiant yellows and verdant greens push forward with electric intensity. Accents defined by assertive black contours snap the forms into a taut equilibrium, and soft transitions between hues add a musical cadence. Organic, fluid shapes seem to expand and collide, capturing the exhilarating tension between chaos and order—one reason collectors prize this period of Kandinsky’s work for contemporary interiors.

A thoughtful gift for modern art lovers, new homeowners, or anyone drawn to color-rich, emotionally resonant design, this Kandinsky fine art print suits occasions from birthdays and graduations to Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or simply welcoming someone back from a museum-filled trip. It’s a timeless statement piece that brings the drama and spirituality of early abstraction into your home.

If you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind – a different size, a different colour, a special frame – then please contact me. I usually respond within a few minutes.

You can see an example of my fine art personalisation service in the fifth image. Zoom in and take a look. My personalised artwork is always very well received. Take a look at more examples of personalisation.

You can also choose to age your art print to make it look older. This is popular amongst my customers who want their artwork to look like an older, antique print. You can see an example of ageing in the sixth product image, or go ahead and check out lots of examples of other aged artwork.

The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this art print.

I can print and frame this beautiful piece of art at sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). If you are looking for a size or framing option that isn't available online, please get in touch.

This artwork is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. My standard frames come in six colours (black, dark brown, dark grey, antique gold, oak and white), and custom framing is available for an additional charge. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.

This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.

We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.

Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.

Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.

All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.

If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

My maps are extremely high quality reproductions of original maps.

I source original, rare maps from libraries, auction houses and private collections around the world, restore them at my London workshop, and then use specialist giclée inks and printers to create beautiful maps that look even better than the original.

My maps are printed on acid-free archival matte (not glossy) paper that feels very high quality and almost like card. In technical terms the paper weight/thickness is 10mil/200gsm. It's perfect for framing.

I print with Epson ultrachrome giclée UV fade resistant pigment inks - some of the best inks you can find.

I can also make maps on canvas, cotton rag and other exotic materials.

Map ageing

I have been asked hundreds of times over the years by customers if they could buy a map that looks even older.

Well, now you can, by selecting Aged before you add a map to your basket.

All the product photos you see on this page show the map in its Original form. This is what the map looks like today.

If you select Aged, I will age your map by hand, using a special and unique process developed through years of studying old maps, talking to researchers to understand the chemistry of aging paper, and of course... lots of practice!

If you're unsure, stick to the Original colour of the map. If you want something a bit darker and older looking, go for Aged.
