EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting chromolithograph print, titled "Souls condemned to Hell" captures the terrifying imagery of damnation in the second half of the 15th century. Created by Kellerhoven and featured in a 19th-century facsimile from the Saint Graal manuscript, this artwork depicts a scene of torment and punishment. In vivid color, we see naked souls bound in chains being brought before a raging fire by menacing devils. The intensity of their suffering is palpable as they face their inevitable fate. Atop his throne sits Satan himself, overseeing this macabre spectacle with an air of malevolence. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every nuance of fear and anguish on the faces of these tormented souls. The nudity serves as a symbol for vulnerability and exposure in the face of eternal damnation. This print offers us a glimpse into medieval beliefs about sin and its consequences. It reminds us that actions have consequences even beyond death itself. Through its chilling depiction, it serves as a cautionary tale against succumbing to temptation. As part of Volume 2 of "Le Moyen Age Et La Renaissance" edited by Paul Lacroix under Ferdinand Sere's artistic direction, this artwork showcases both historical significance and artistic mastery. Its inclusion in this renowned publication further solidifies its place within art history. Overall, this chromolithograph print stands as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with concepts such as good versus evil and divine judgment—a captivating reminder that our choices shape our destiny even after death has claimed us.
