EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of the Last Judgment, a comprehensive representation of this pivotal moment in Christian theology. In the image, Christ sits as the ultimate judge on a majestic cloud in heaven, surrounded by a host of angelic beings. His presence is both awe-inspiring and solemn as he holds a sword and lily symbolizing justice and purity. Beneath Christ's divine figure, doomed souls are led to their eternal damnation by menacing devils. The artist skillfully portrays their despair and anguish as they face their inevitable fate. On the other hand, blessed individuals who have been resurrected from the dead are guided towards heavenly bliss by gentle angels. The composition exudes an overwhelming sense of contrast between salvation and condemnation, lightness and darkness. Jan Luyken's masterful letterpress printing technique brings out intricate details that enhance our understanding of this profound religious event. This particular print was created in Amsterdam in 1687 on high-quality paper, ensuring its longevity throughout history. It now resides within the Liszt Collection—an esteemed repository for artistic treasures—where it continues to inspire contemplation about life's ultimate judgment day.
