EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Fall of the Rebel Angels" a remarkable artwork created in 1260 and reproduced in 1849 by Lemercier. The image depicts God and the righteous angels residing in Heaven, while below them, rebel angels are seen hurtling towards the gaping jaws of Hell. This powerful scene is derived from a miniature found in the Psalter of Saint Louis, housed within Paris' Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal. The chromolithograph faithfully captures the vivid colors and intricate details of this medieval masterpiece. It conveys a profound metaphorical message about good versus evil, as well as the consequences that befall those who rebel against divine authority. Paul Lacroix's editorial guidance and Ferdinand Sere's artistic direction have ensured that this facsimile remains true to its original form. The lithograph itself is an exquisite representation of religious iconography prevalent during both the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods. As we gaze upon this dramatic composition, we cannot help but feel captivated by its intensity. The fallen angels' descent into damnation serves as a cautionary tale reminding us of humanity's eternal struggle between righteousness and temptation. This extraordinary print transports us back through time, allowing us to appreciate not only Lemercier's skillful reproduction but also the enduring significance of religious art throughout history.
