EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Last Judgment" by the Palestinian School in the 18th century. Measuring 265x138.5 cm, this artwork is part of a private collection and holds immense historical and artistic significance. At the center of the composition, a medallion displays the Preparation of the Throne, flanked by Adam and Eve. Above them, four angels with trumpets announce the Second Coming of Christ, who is depicted enthroned, blessing and revealing his stigmata on his hands. Accompanying him are his Mother and John. In each corner of this celestial scene stand apocalyptic personifications of the evangelists holding closed Gospels. The top row features two angels unrolling a starry depiction of heaven including the sun and moon. Angels and cherubs complete this heavenly ensemble. Moving to lower registers, we find an image of Mandylion at far left while apostles sit under a colonnade alongside Solomon and Jeremiah at either end. The rest of the composition divides into two sections separated by scales beneath the medallion. On one side stands St. Peter prominently holding keys as he leads just people in Paradise procession while sinners face their fate in Hell on the other side. Here, a large serpent devours scoundrels arriving through a river of fire while beasts from both land and sea join in consuming wrongdoers. This eventful masterpiece is graphically rendered with saturated colors and gold accents that enhance its vibrancy even further.
