The Fall of the Damned is a c. 1470 oil on panel painting by Dirk Bouts, originally produced as part of a triptych of the Last Judgement commissioned by the town of Louvain in 1468. The central panel is lost but the other side panel, The Ascension of the Elect, survives. They draw on Genesis 2:10, Book of Revelation and The Purgatory of St Patrick, a 14th-century Irish manuscript by Berol telling of Sir Owein's legendary trip to Purgatory.[1] Ascension is now in the palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille.[2][3]
