The Harrowing of Hell
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on panel artwork by Herri met de Bles, also known as Civetta. Measuring 15.5x50 cm, this powerful piece is currently held in a private collection and managed by Johnny Van Haeften Ltd. in London. The image depicts an infernal scene from the underworld, where Christ fearlessly breaches the gates of hell. With his divine presence, he confronts menacing monsters and devils that populate this dark realm. This dramatic portrayal draws inspiration from both the Old Testament and Christian theology. Intricately detailed, the painting showcases Bles' exceptional skill in capturing intricate textures and expressions of anguish on each demonic face. The composition exudes an eerie atmosphere as Christ navigates through Limbo to rescue souls trapped within its depths. This print offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in religious history when Christ triumphantly overcomes evil forces and liberates those who were once condemned to eternal damnation. With its owl signature symbolizing wisdom and knowledge, "The Harrowing of Hell" serves as a testament to Bles' artistic prowess and ability to convey complex theological concepts through visual storytelling.
