EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured etching, created by Thomas Fisher in 1808, depicts God presiding over the Judgment Day scene. Surrounded by the Virgin Mary and Saint John, the Almighty separates the righteous from the wicked. On the left, kings, popes, and monks emerge from their tombs, their souls ascending to enter the gates of Heaven. The resurrected souls are bathed in a golden light, symbolizing the eternal life and peace that awaits them. On the other side, the souls of the damned are herded by demons towards the mouth of Hell. The sinners, with tormented expressions, are led away to face eternal suffering and damnation. The contrast between the two sides is striking, highlighting the profound impact of one's actions in life. Thomas Fisher, a skilled artist, masterfully captured the intricacies of this biblical story through his paintings on the walls of the Chapel of the Trinity in Stratford upon Avon. The detail in this etching is remarkable, from the facial expressions of the figures to the intricate designs on their robes and the fiery depths of Hell. The use of handcolouring adds a richness and depth to the image, making it a truly mesmerizing work of art. The Day of Judgment, as depicted in this etching, is a powerful reminder of the importance of living a virtuous life and the consequences of straying from the path of righteousness. It is a testament to the enduring power of religious art to inspire and provoke thought, even to this day.
