The Resurrection of the dead and the Weighing of Souls in the Balance, at the Last Judgement
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating chromolitho print from the 19th century. This mesmerizing artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist, depicts a scene of great significance - the final judgment day. In this intricate illustration, we witness souls emerging from their graves as they are resurrected. The delicate balance between good and evil is portrayed through a meticulous weighing scale that determines each soul's fate. As these souls await their destiny, one cannot help but feel a sense of anticipation and awe. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable. Every element contributes to its medieval charm - from the aged appearance of the print itself to references such as "Psalter of St Louis" and "Abbey of Poissy". It transports us back to an era where art was not only aesthetically pleasing but also served as a means for storytelling. This chromolitho print was originally featured in Paul Lacroix's book "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages" published in 1878. Its inclusion adds another layer of historical context to this already fascinating image. As we gaze upon this work, we are reminded that life's choices have consequences beyond our earthly existence. It serves as both a reminder and contemplation on mortality and spirituality. Through its rich symbolism and expert craftsmanship, this artwork continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation.
