How was Rogier van der Weyden’s Last Judgment displayed?

Answer
A
painted on the inside only to create interest
B
painted on inside to display when open, painted on outside to display when closed

Explanation

Rogier van der Weyden’s Last Judgment was made as a hinged altarpiece. Its dramatic Last Judgment scene appeared on the inside when the panels were opened, while painted panels on the outside could be seen when it was closed.
