EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning woodcut print, created by the renowned German artist Michael Wolgemut in 1491, is a captivating exploration of the biblical story of Lucifer's fall from grace and the gathering of the faithful angels. On the verso, or reverse side, of the print, we witness the dramatic and chaotic scene of The Fall of Lucifer and the Rebel Angels. The once proud and beautiful angel, Lucifer, now transformed into the devil, is shown tumbling from the heavens, surrounded by a swirling maelstrom of demons and fallen angels, banished from God's presence for their rebellion. The scene is filled with a sense of chaos and destruction, as the underworld awaits to claim its new inhabitants. On the recto, or front side, of the print, we find a contrasting image of serenity and order. The Gathering of the Angels shows the faithful angels, led by King Pater Stephan and Stephan Fridolin, assembled in a peaceful and orderly fashion. Their faces are filled with devotion and determination, as they prepare to carry out God's will and banish the fallen angels from the heavens. This intricately detailed woodcut print, which is part of the Treasury (Schatzbehalter) series, is a testament to Michael Wolgemut's masterful use of line and composition. The contrast between the two scenes highlights the power of good over evil, and the importance of remaining faithful to one's beliefs. The print, which is on ivory laid paper, is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 15th century.
