EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 17th century print, titled 'Last Judgment' by Aert Pietersz, also known as Aertsen the Elder, offers a vivid and intricate depiction of the biblical scene of the Day of Judgment as described in the Book of Revelation. The central figure is Christ Jesus, seated on a circular throne, surrounded by angels and biblical characters. He raises his right hand in benediction, while with his left, he holds open the Book of Revelation. Below, the souls of the saved are shown ascending to heaven, while those condemned are led away by demons and mythical beasts. The composition is filled with dynamic energy, as angels blow brass instruments and gesticulate, while animals and figures kneel in prayer. The colorful and detailed rendering of the figures and clouds adds to the sense of otherworldly drama and grandeur. This print, a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Low Countries, invites contemplation and devotion, and offers a glimpse into the powerful and enduring influence of Christian themes in art.
