EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing painting discovered over a door in the screen under the organ loft of Bristol Cathedral. Created by Joseph Manning, this watercolor on paper artwork dates back to the early 19th century and is now housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The scene depicted in this stunning piece is nothing short of dramatic. It portrays a religious theme centered around judgment day and the afterlife. Angels are seen lifting souls towards heaven, while an angelic figure battles against a menacing devil who drags unfortunate souls down to hell. The intensity of this moment is palpable as life hangs in balance between salvation and damnation. Manning's skillful use of watercolors brings depth and emotion to every brushstroke, making each character come alive with vivid colors. The burning flames add an element of urgency, heightening the tension within the composition. This remarkable painting serves as a powerful reminder of our mortality and forces us to contemplate our actions during our time on Earth. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own beliefs about death, heaven, hell, and divine judgment. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork from Bristol Cathedral's hidden corners, we are transported into another realm where spirituality intertwines with artistry – leaving us captivated by its haunting beauty for centuries to come.
