EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Last Judgement" by Rogier van der Weyden, a renowned Netherlandish artist of the Northern Renaissance. Painted around 1451, this oil on panel masterpiece is housed in the Musee de l'Hotel-Dieu in Beaune, France. In this particular section of the polyptych, we witness St. Michel Pesant les Ames (St. Michael Weighing Souls). The archangel stands tall and majestic as he balances souls on a scale, symbolizing God's judgment on Judgment Day. This scene evokes feelings of awe and contemplation as one imagines the weighty consequences that await each individual. The painting also alludes to concepts such as purgatory, apocalypse, and salvation. Van der Weyden masterfully captures the contrasting emotions displayed by angels and apostles surrounding St. Michael; some rejoice while others express anguish or despair. "The Last Judgement" serves as a visual representation of humanity's eternal struggle between sin and righteousness. It reminds us that our actions have consequences beyond earthly life and urges introspection about our own moral choices. Paul Maeyaert skillfully captured this profound artwork through his lens, preserving its intricate details for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where heaven meets hell and divine justice prevails over human transgressions - an enduring testament to van der Weyden's artistic genius.
