Answer:

Aaron Douglas painted The Judgment Day in 1927 to coincide with James Weldon Johnson's poem of the same name. Illustrating life after death, the painting depicts how, on Judgment Day, souls are either condemned or redeemed depending on the behavior the person exhibited while living on earth.
