EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "St. Michael Weighing the Souls at the Last Judgement" by Hans the Elder Leu, dating back to around 1500. The painting, created with tempera on panel, is housed in Kunsthaus, Zurich, Switzerland. In this profound depiction of the Last Judgement, St. Michael takes center stage as he weighs souls with divine precision. With his majestic wings spread wide and a sword held firmly in hand, he stands as a symbol of righteousness and justice. Surrounding him are heavenly angels and Jesus Christ himself bestowing blessings upon those who have led virtuous lives. The composition beautifully captures both sinners and saints alike; naked souls anxiously await their fate while demons lurk nearby to claim those condemned for their transgressions. The intricate landscape adds depth to this Northern Renaissance artwork, enhancing its ethereal quality. Leu's attention to detail is evident through every brushstroke - from the delicate feathers on St. Michael's wings to the intricately designed scales used for weighing each soul's worthiness. This piece serves as a testament to Leu's mastery of his craft during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil and our collective yearning for redemption in face of impending judgement.
