Rogier van der Weyden, Last Judgment
(light piano music) [Voiceover] We're in the town of Beaune, in the Hotel-Dieu, in a very dark room, where they've moved the altarpiece, by Rogier van der Weyden, of the Last Judgment.발음듣기
Now, this originally stood in the hospital room, where the sick would be cared for, and they could look through a screen during Mass, and see this altarpiece, a really appropriate subject for those who were ill, and who were, many of them, near death.발음듣기
He was, in a sense, a lawyer, and it's appropriate, then, the subject of this panel, not on the outside, but when we open it up, and we are confronted with this magnificent interior.발음듣기
[Voiceover] And Rolin commissioned this entire building, and this polyptic by Rogier van der Weyden, in the hope that it would gain him his own salvation.발음듣기
Right now we're looking at the back of the altarpiece, or what you would have seen when the altar was closed.발음듣기
[Voiceover] The moment when God is made flesh, when salvation becomes possible, for mankind, and below that, two grisaille, or painted in grey, images of saints, on the left, Saint Sebastian, and on the right, Saint Anthony.발음듣기
[Voiceover] And the figures are painted with exactitude, that we always see in the Northern Renaissance.발음듣기
[Voiceover] When the panels are opened, we have a painting that is 18 feet wide, and we have at the top, Christ in majesty, Christ as judge.발음듣기
[Voiceover] Seated on a rainbow, and what's so wonderful is that he's actually seated on it.발음듣기
[Voiceover] He seems to balance, although, his feet are on a beautifully rendered golden orb, which is bejeweled.발음듣기
[Voiceover] Now, below Christ, who is the ultimate judge of heaven, and remember, that Rolin is a kind of lawyer, and so this notion of justice is very much a part of his life.발음듣기
We see the Archangel Michael, who's beautifully rendered in white, with wings that seem to be the wings of peacocks, and we see him holding this magnificent scale.발음듣기
And on our left, we see Michael holding a figure who is blessed, who is going to Heaven, who's lighter, and so that extends to the left and the right.발음듣기
On the left, those who are rising up toward Heaven, and on the right, the damned, who move toward the right corner, toward the fires of Hell.발음듣기
[Voiceover] It's interesting, there's nothing that's compelling those figures to go to Hell, but they seem to, in their terror, run towards that fiery abyss.발음듣기
[Voiceover] Although, some of them do seem to be being pulled by their hair into the fires of Hell.발음듣기
Whereas on the left, we see a representation of the gate of Heaven, and we see an angel, perhaps Michael again, who's escorting the blessed into the Kingdom of God.발음듣기
[Voiceover] What we really notice is the frontality of Michael and of Christ, that sense that there is no bargaining, here.발음듣기
This is justice, it's being meted out, there's no wavering, no discussion, one is either on Christ's right, as the blessed, or on Christ's left, as the damned.발음듣기
It's interesting, this Northern style of precision, of exactitude, in the rendering of the physical, that is so much a part of the work of Rogier van der Weyden, plays into that idea of the absoluteness.발음듣기
[Voiceover] Well, it's interesting, because so often in early painting, we see a gold background.발음듣기
But here, it's clouds, with volume, and it almost seems like the fiery colors of a sunset, that the clouds of the sky, and so we have this heavenly light, yes, but it's also in some ways, more of the natural world, as well.발음듣기
On either side of Michael, we see four smaller angels in this beautiful purplish-red, and they're blowing their golden trumpets, announcing the end of time, but also waking the dead.발음듣기
On our left, Christ's right, with the blessed, the lilies, a sense of mercy, and then on our right, or Christ's left, the sword of justice.발음듣기
[Voiceover] On the other hand, he also makes a gesture of blessing, he looks out at us, but there's also something reassuring.발음듣기
[Voiceover] Only if you're looking to his right hand, but if you look to his left, he seems to also be condemning the damned into hell.발음듣기
