EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Star Falls and makes Hell Open, from the Apocalypse". Jean Duvet takes us on a journey into the depths of biblical revelation. Created in the 18th century, this engraving showcases Duvet's mastery in capturing complex concepts through intricate details. The scene unfolds within an arched frame, depicting a chaotic moment during the apocalypse. A star descends from the heavens, tearing open the gates of hell below. The contrast between light and dark intensifies as white-robed angels battle against sinister figures amidst a crowd of men and women. Duvet's attention to detail is evident as he portrays soldiers engaged in war, wounded bodies strewn across the landscape, and mourners burying their loved ones. This powerful image serves as a reminder of mankind's mortality and our collective struggle with faith amidst turmoil. As we reflect upon this thought-provoking artwork housed at The Met museum, we are transported back to 18th-century France where religion played a significant role in society. Duvet skillfully combines elements of Rococo style with religious symbolism to create an emotionally charged portrait that resonates even today. "A Star Falls and makes Hell Open" invites viewers to contemplate themes of life, death, salvation, and damnation while marveling at Duvet's artistic prowess. It stands as a testament to his contribution to French heritage art and his ability to capture profound moments within engraved lines.
