EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Donor, Chancellor Nicholas Rolin, Kneeling in Prayer" from the reverse of the Last Judgement polyptych. Painted by Rogier van der Weyden between 1445 and 1450, this oil on panel masterpiece resides at the Musee de l'Hotel-Dieu in Beaune, France. In this remarkable image, Chancellor Nicholas Rolin is depicted with utmost devotion as he kneels in prayer. His hands are clasped together while his eyes gaze upward towards heaven. The chancellor's richly adorned coat of arms proudly displays his status and influence. Surrounded by celestial beings, an angel and seraphim stand beside him. The angel holds a set of keys symbolizing divine authority while the seraphim wears a helmet representing heavenly protection. Together they create a sacred atmosphere around Chancellor Rolin. A prie-dieu rests before him with an open Bible placed upon it - a testament to his devout faith and commitment to God's word. This intimate moment captured by van der Weyden invites viewers into the chancellor's spiritual journey. "The Donor" serves as both a religious artifact and a portrait of patronage during the Netherlandish Renaissance period. It offers insight into the role of influential figures like Chancellor Nicholas Rolin who supported artistic endeavors for religious institutions. With its intricate details and profound symbolism, this print allows us to appreciate van der Weyden's mastery while providing glimpses into medieval spirituality and
