EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Stephan Lochner's masterpiece, "Last Judgement" painted around 1435. The central panel of a polyptych, this work was likely commissioned for the council chamber of City Hall in Cologne, Germany. Lochner skillfully depicts Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, and Saint John the Baptist pleading for the salvation of departed souls. Guided by angels, those saved are shown returning to Paradise through the Church while the damned are mercilessly dragged to Hell by terrifying monsters. Lochner's painting portrays a vivid scene filled with religious symbolism and profound meaning. It exemplifies gothic art at its finest and showcases his mastery as an artist during the High Renaissance period. The composition beautifully illustrates themes of doomsday, damnation, resurrection, and redemption. The image evokes a sense of awe as it explores concepts such as sinners' torment in Hell and the glorification of saints in Heaven. Lochner's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke – from naked figures representing humanity's vulnerability to intricate depictions of angels guiding souls towards their ultimate fate. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Photo Josse, we are reminded of our mortality and encouraged to reflect on our own actions and beliefs. This powerful representation serves as a reminder that judgment day awaits us all but also offers hope for salvation through faith and righteousness.
