EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the central panel of "The Last Judgement" by Hans Memling, a renowned Netherlandish painter from the 15th century. Painted in 1473 with oil on panel, this masterpiece is housed at the Muzeum Narodowe in Gdansk, Poland. In this awe-inspiring artwork, Jesus Christ assumes his role as the ultimate judge of humanity. Seated majestically, he presides over St Michael the Archangel who weighs souls and directs the damned towards Hell's fiery abyss. Notably, one of these sinners being weighed is Tommaso Portinari himself – a donor portrait included within this grand composition. "The Last Judgement" encapsulates both heavenly splendor and eternal damnation. The righteous are depicted ascending to paradise while evil-doers face their inevitable condemnation. A vibrant rainbow stretches across the scene symbolizing divine promise and hope amidst judgment. Hans Memling's attention to detail is evident throughout this painting; every brushstroke brings life to angels surrounding Jesus' throne and adds depth to each soul awaiting their fate on Judgment Day. Displayed at eNational Museum in Gdansk, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Memling's artistic genius and continues to inspire viewers with its profound exploration of good versus evil and divine justice.
