EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of the "Last Judgement" tympanum, located on the central portal of the West facade at the Cathedral of St. Etienne in Bourges, France. Created by an anonymous French artist from the 13th century, this stone relief depicts a powerful scene known as the Separation of the Blessed and Damned. The composition showcases a vivid portrayal of biblical events such as weighing of souls and resurrection of the dead. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every element, from heavenly angels to menacing devils surrounding a central figure who appears to be passing judgment upon all. This gothic masterpiece not only serves as an architectural detail but also stands as a testament to medieval artistry. The photograph beautifully captures both light and shadow, emphasizing each delicate curve and contour carved into stone. It allows viewers to appreciate every minute detail that may otherwise go unnoticed when observing it firsthand. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece through Peter Willi's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this awe-inspiring moment frozen forever in history. The image evokes contemplation about life's ultimate questions - salvation or damnation - while showcasing artistic brilliance that has stood strong for centuries.
