EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to a celestial realm known as "The Wall of Heaven Where the Bad but Not Very Bad Are in Temporary Discomfort". Created by the talented Flemish artist Simon Marmion in 1475, this masterpiece showcases his mastery of tempera colors, gold leaf, gold paint, and ink on parchment. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the imposing wall that stretches across the composition. Its grandeur is enhanced by intricate details and vibrant hues that bring it to life. This heavenly barrier serves as a temporary abode for those who have not committed grave sins but still bear some guilt. Marmion's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The delicate play of light and shadow adds depth to each figure depicted on either side of the wall. We see individuals experiencing various forms of discomfort or penance for their transgressions. Some appear lost in contemplation while others engage in acts of self-reflection. Ghent, Belgium served as Marmion's muse for this piece—an epicenter of artistic innovation during his time. Through his artistry, he invites us into a world where morality meets divine judgment—a place where even minor wrongdoings carry consequences. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate Marmion's talent and glimpse into an ethereal realm filled with complex emotions and spiritual introspection. It serves as a reminder that even amidst discomfort and reflection, there is always hope for
