EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Last Judgement" illuminated manuscript on vellum, created by Flemish artist Simon Bening in the early 1520s. Measuring between 11.3-11.8x7.7-7.9 cm, this miniature artwork is part of a private collection and depicts a significant religious scene. The image captures an outdoor setting with a large group of people gathered to witness the celestial event unfold before them. The artist's skillful use of illumination brings to life the heavenly atmosphere as individuals from various ethnic origins stand in awe and worship. Bening's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the posture and expressions of each figure as they face their ultimate decision during this last judgement moment. The composition beautifully balances both nudity and clothed figures, symbolizing vulnerability and choice. As one explores this remarkable piece, it becomes apparent that Bening was deeply influenced by Northern Renaissance artistry, with his meticulous brushwork reflecting his mastery over the medium. This print not only offers a glimpse into European art history but also serves as a testament to humanity's eternal quest for spiritual enlightenment and salvation. It invites viewers to contemplate their own beliefs while appreciating the artistic brilliance behind this exquisite illuminated manuscript from the early 16th century.
