Cousin, Jean the Younger (1525c.-1595) - 1585 Last Judgment (Louvre, Paris)
Jean Cousin the Younger was a student at the University of Paris in 1542. He must have learnt and practised art in his father's studio until the latter's death and continued very much in the same vein. Although he is mentioned by a number of contemporary writers, his artistic personality is even more elusive than his father's. One painting can be definitely ascribed to him and shows his style in later life: the Last Judgement (Paris, Louvre), which shows innumerable figures in a vast space but on a small canvas. It is painted with great finesse but little energy and displays a sophisticated sense of colour.
