The Last Judgment,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an engraving by Martino Rota, is a striking and intricately detailed representation of Michelangelo's iconic work of the same name. Created in 1569, this print is a testament to Rota's masterful skill as a Dalmatian artist of the 16th century. The composition of the engraving is based on Michelangelo's original fresco, painted on the Sistine Chapel's wall between 1534 and 1541. The image captures the moment of the final judgment, when Christ, enthroned among the clouds, separates the saved from the damned. The saved, bathed in light, are shown ascending to heaven in a boat piloted by the angel, while the damned, shrouded in darkness, are led by the figure of Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, towards eternal damnation. The crowd of figures in this engraving is a marvel of detail and complexity. The saved, depicted with expressions of joy and awe, are a diverse group, including saints, angels, and the faithful. The damned, on the other hand, are shown in various states of agony and despair, with some recognizable figures from Christian mythology, such as the infamous figure of Minos, with his three heads, and the soul-weighing scales of Dike. Rota's engraving of "The Last Judgment" is a powerful and moving work of art, capturing the essence of Michelangelo's original masterpiece and offering a glimpse into the intricacies of 16th-century Dalmatian art. Today, it is a cherished addition to the Blanton Museum of Art's collection in Austin, Texas, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
