EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Resurrection of the Dead and the Weighing of Souls" takes us back to the 19th century, where French School artists beautifully depicted a scene from the Psalter of St. Louis, dating back to the 13th century. The artwork is part of the treasure found in Abbey of Poissy, France. The image portrays an intense moment at the Last Judgment, where souls are being weighed on a balance by angels. This symbolic act determines their fate after death - eternal life or damnation. The intricate details and delicate engravings showcase both artistic skill and religious devotion. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are transported to a time when science and literature intertwined with religious beliefs during the Middle Ages. It serves as a reminder that faith played a significant role in shaping society's understanding of life and death. The artist's meticulous illustrations bring forth emotions ranging from awe to contemplation about our own mortality. This engraving captures not only Christian themes but also historical significance through its depictions of manuscripts and drawings from that era. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly preserved this masterpiece for us to admire today. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the artistry behind it and its profound spiritual meaning that transcends time itself.
