18th Angel Angels Approach Century Chained Christ Christian Confession Devil Good Guardian Hands Heaven Manuscript Mouth Observed Penitent Stopped True Approaches Confesses Confessional Devils Emerge Falsehood Penitents Presided Truth Untrue Weep
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century manuscript print titled "The Good Confession" captures the essence of religious devotion and the consequences of falsehood. In this intricate artwork, we witness a profound scene in which Christ presides over heaven, symbolizing divine judgment. A man, bound by chains to a devil, approaches the confessional with an earnest desire for redemption. On the top half of the print, we see a woman who confesses her sins as a true penitent guided by her guardian angel. The atmosphere is filled with hope and compassion as angels watch over this genuine act of contrition. Contrasting this virtuous scene is "The Bad Confession" depicted on the bottom half. Here, God observes as penitents chained to devils approach another confessional. Shockingly, one woman's mouth is forcibly stopped by demonic hands - representing deceit and falsehood. As these untrue penitents emerge from their confessionals still bound to their devils, angels weep in sorrowful disappointment at witnessing such insincerity. This powerful image serves as a reminder that true repentance requires honesty and genuine remorse. It highlights the eternal struggle between good and evil within human nature while emphasizing that only through sincere confession can one find spiritual liberation. Universal Images Group (UIG) has preserved this remarkable piece of Christian artistry that continues to inspire contemplation on matters of faith and personal truth throughout centuries past and present.
