EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from Rogier van der Weyden's "Triptych of the Redemption, right panel: the Last Judgement". Painted between 1455 and 1459, this oil on wood masterpiece is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. In this particular section of the triptych, titled "the chosen and the damned" we are confronted with a powerful depiction of divine judgment. The scene unfolds with an array of nudes - men and women alike - standing before an angelic figure who separates them into two distinct groups. On one side, we witness those deemed worthy being guided towards paradise by celestial beings. Their expressions radiate joy and relief as they embark on their journey to eternal bliss. On the other side lies a haunting tableau of despair; those condemned to hell writhe in agony amidst flames and torment. Van der Weyden's attention to detail captures every nuance of anguish on their faces as they face an eternity devoid of hope. This segment serves as a reminder that redemption comes at a cost, emphasizing medieval religious beliefs surrounding salvation and damnation. The artist's skillful execution transports us back to the fifteenth century, immersing us in his profound exploration of faith through art. As we contemplate this remarkable piece within its larger context as part of an altarpiece, we are reminded once again why van der Weyden remains one of history's most influential Netherlandish painters.
