"Extremum Judicium: A Glimpse into Divine Justice through Art" Step back in time to the 14th century, where a triptych of immense significance awaits. With its striking depictions of the Ascension, Last Judgment, and Pentecost, this masterpiece in tempera on board transports us to an era filled with religious fervor and artistic brilliance. Continuing our journey through time, we encounter another captivating artwork from the same period - "Stories of Jesus Christ. " Painted meticulously on panel using tempera, these scenes bring alive the tales that have shaped Christianity for centuries. Fast forward to 1450-51 and witness the Altarpiece of Sant Miquel by Jaume Cirera and Guillem Talarn. This stunning piece showcases their mastery over tempera as they depict sacred figures with utmost reverence and detail. The altarpiece's intricate design invites contemplation and reflection. As we delve deeper into the theme of judgment, we stumble upon "The Last Judgment, " a powerful oil painting from c. 1588-89. Its grandeur is undeniable as it captures both awe-inspiring divine justice and human vulnerability before eternity's verdict. Moving away from paintings but not less impactful is "The Funeral of Raymond Diocres: An Episode from the Story of St Bruno. " Executed with brushwork and washes in brown ink heightened by bodycolor accents, this work evokes solemnity while narrating a poignant moment in Christian history. Peter von Cornelius' portrayal of Christ within his larger work depicting The Last Judgment demands attention. His skillful rendering brings forth both compassion and authority as Christ stands amidst souls awaiting their fate. Venturing beyond traditional paintings, we discover frescoes adorning a funerary monument featuring angels blowing trumpets heralding judgment day. These heavenly beings serve as reminders that ultimate justice lies beyond mortal realms.
