EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "The Last Judgement" painted in 1615. The oil on panel artwork measures 81x54 cm and is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Pau, France. Also known as "Le Jugement Dernier" this painting depicts a scene from the New Testament, portraying the afterlife and the fate of lost souls. In this intense composition, we witness a multitude of nude male and female figures representing sinners ascending towards heaven or descending into hell. The crowded and writhing bodies evoke feelings of pain and desperation as they struggle with their ultimate destiny. However, amidst this chaos, angels can be seen saving and helping some individuals. Rubens skillfully incorporates nudes, cherubs (putti), Jesus Christ, Saint Peter, saints, angels with wings, beasts, devils with horns attacking naked figures to depict punishment for sins committed during life. This dramatic portrayal emphasizes the consequences that await those who have strayed from righteousness. "The Last Judgement" serves as a powerful reminder of our mortality and the importance of leading virtuous lives. It prompts contemplation about our actions while offering hope for redemption through divine intervention.
