The Last Judgment mid-nineteenth century1850s
1850s
About the Item
Oil on Canvas.
The 'work is probably the preparatory and presentation painting to the commission, of the fresco created by Moretti Larese for the vault of the church of Volpago del Montello (Treviso), dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene.
The Last Judgment depicts above Paradise on the clouds, gathered around Christ seated on the judge's throne. The Trinitarian image is composed in the background, with God the Father in flight and the dove of the Holy Spirit, among the choirs of angels and the elders of Revelation. Christ the judge is flanked by his mother Mary, in the role of intercessor, and by the four evangelists who have in their hands the Gospels they authored and at their side the traditional symbols. On either side are arrayed the Old Testament saints (David with the zither, Moses with the tablets of the law, John the Baptist with the barbed cross) and the apostles Peter (with the keys) and Paul (with the sword of martyrdom). The esplanade below is occupied by the other apostles (Andrew with the cross) and saints.
The three Virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity, with their symbols, show the resurrected the cross of Jesus' sacrifice. The angel with the tuba awakens the dead and points them to the judge. Archangel Michael, with his flaming sword and double-pan scales, decides the individual fate of the resurrected. Below, the elect (including mothers with their babies) ascend to Heaven with the help of angels. Instead, the damned end up in the flames of Hell.
The painting has obvious traces of the underlying pencil drawing and, compared to the final fresco, some minor differences in the postures of some figures and especially in the non-final colors.
Moretti Largese became especially appreciated as a decorator of public and private palaces, but he also created some religious frescoes.
The painting is presented in a late 19th-century frame.
