EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork of Ms 246 fol. 371v, The Last Judgement, from De Civitate Dei by St. Augustine of Hippo. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 15th century, this vellum manuscript is a true masterpiece that can be found at Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve in Paris, France. The image depicts a scene of divine judgment with intricate details and vibrant colors. In the center stands God the Father, surrounded by heavenly hosts and angels. To His left is Jesus Christ, while on His right stands John the Baptist and Saint Augustine himself. The composition beautifully captures both heaven and hell: souls being lifted up to paradise by angels on one side, while demons drag sinners down into fiery torment on the other side. The Virgin Mary also appears as a central figure, radiating grace and compassion towards those seeking redemption. What truly sets this artwork apart is its stunning floral border that frames the entire scene. Every petal seems to come alive with delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail. This illuminated manuscript not only reflects medieval artistic techniques but also embodies spiritual themes prevalent during that time period. It serves as a testament to humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil, reminding us of our own mortality and ultimate accountability before God's judgement seat. With its rich symbolism and profound theological significance, this Renaissance-era artwork continues to captivate viewers even today through its timeless beauty and profound message about salvation.
