EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century manuscript print captures the powerful contrast between The Good Confession and The Bad Confession, presided over by Christ in heaven. In the top half of the image, we see a man chained to a devil approaching the confessional, while a woman confesses as a true penitent led by a guardian angel. This scene is filled with hope and redemption, as those who seek forgiveness are guided towards salvation.
In stark contrast, the bottom half of the print shows The Bad Confession observed by God. Penitents chained to devils approach the confessional, where a woman's mouth is stopped by devil's hands. Untrue penitents emerge still chained to their devils, while angels weep at their falsehoods. This scene is filled with despair and consequences for those who do not truly repent for their sins.
The intricate details and vibrant colors in this artwork bring these two contrasting scenes to life, reminding viewers of the importance of genuine confession and repentance in Christian faith. It serves as a powerful visual representation of spiritual truths that continue to resonate with believers today.
