EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Outer Faces: Angels Ministering to the Damned" a triptych painting created between 1505 and 1530 by the enigmatic Master of the Antwerp Adoration. The artwork, measuring 118.8x172.1 cm when open and 118.8x96.2 cm when closed, is currently held in a private collection. In this thought-provoking piece, we witness a scene that delves into Christian beliefs surrounding life after death and eternal damnation. The outer panels depict angels tending to those condemned to suffer in fiery realms of torment and anguish. Vibrant colors bring these haunting scenes to life as flames engulf sinners while braziers intensify their agony. The artist's Flemish roots are evident in the meticulous attention given to detail throughout the composition, showcasing their mastery of technique during the Renaissance period. This work serves as a powerful reminder of mortality, urging viewers to contemplate their own actions and choices before facing judgment. "The Outer Faces" also hints at themes of resurrection and hope beyond death's grip, suggesting that redemption may still be attainable for those who seek it earnestly. Through its profound imagery and skillful execution, this painting invites us into a realm where spirituality intertwines with artistry, leaving an indelible impression on our souls. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by Christie's Images, we are transported back in time to an era where religious devotion permeated every aspect of life – reminding us that even centuries later, art continues to inspire contemplation about our existence and what lies beyond it.
