EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Last Judgement when closed" a masterpiece by Rogier van der Weyden, depicting the donors Chancellor Nicholas Rolin and his wife, Guigone de Salins. Created between 1445-50, this oil on panel artwork is currently housed in the Musee de l'Hotel-Dieu in Beaune, France. In this stunning composition, we witness an array of significant figures from Christian iconography. The Annunciation scene features the angel Gabriel kneeling before the Virgin Mary with a bell in hand. St. Sebastian and St. Anthony the Great are also depicted, each holding their respective attributes of arrows and a book. What makes this piece truly remarkable is its illusionistic technique and attention to detail. The reverse side of the polyptych reveals sculptural portraits of important individuals involved in its creation: Antoine Abbe as an abbot and Madonna Grisaille as a donatrice. The portrait-like quality of Chancellor Nicholas Rolin and his wife adds a personal touch to this grand altarpiece. Their prayerful posture signifies their devotion while simultaneously immortalizing their patronage. Van der Weyden's mastery shines through every brushstroke, capturing not only religious symbolism but also human emotion within these sacred scenes. This print allows us to appreciate Paul Maeyaert's skillful documentation while providing us with an opportunity to delve into the rich history and artistic brilliance that defines Northern Renaissance painting.
