The Last Judgment ID de tableau:: 63858 Voir la galerie dans Suède |
The Last Judgment 1446-52 Oil on wood Mus?e de l'H?tel Dieu, Beaune The detail shows a group of the damned. In Van der Weyden's time it was believed that lunatics were possessed by demons. Here, the figures of the damned are tortured and deformed by hatred and their faces distorted by madness. Gripped by a collective hysteria, they are unable to weep, but instead scream and fight, as their folly draws them on towards eternal punishment.Artist:WEYDEN, Rogier van der Title: The Last Judgment (detail) Painted in 1401-1450 , Flemish - - painting : religious 1446-52_Oil_on_wood_Mus?e_de_l'H?tel_Dieu,_Beaune_The_detail_shows_a_group_of_the_damned._In_Van_der_Weyden's_time_it_was_believed_that_lunatics_were_possessed_by_demons._Here,_the_figures_of_the_damned_are_tortured_and_deformed_by_hatred_and_their_faces_distorted_by_madness._Gripped_by_a_collective_hysteria,_they_are_unable_to_weep,_but_instead_scream_and_fight,_as_their_folly_draws_them_on_towards_eternal_punishment.Artist:WEYDEN,_Rogier_van_der_Title:_The_Last_Judgment_(detail)___Painted_in__1401-1450___,__Flemish__-_-_painting__:_religious |

Diptych ID de tableau:: 63859 Voir la galerie dans Suède |
Diptych 1440 Oil on oak panel, 18,5 x 12 cm (each) Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna The two small panels, representing the Madonna and St Catherine of Alexandria, respectively, probably formed a diptych. The busts of prophets on the outside of the Ghent Altarpiece by Jan van Eyck were the model for the bust of God the Father at the top of the left panel. The figures of Adam and Eve were from the same source. The picture is usually regarded as an early work by Rogier himself from the years 1432-35, but the figure of the Madonna is probably after Jan van Eyck's Madonna of the Fountain, dated 1439, in Antwerp. The right panel is rather weaker, and is not by the same painter as the Madonna. As a king's daughter, Catherine has a crown, but she has taken it off, perhaps a sign of humility and reverence before the Madonna, and has placed it on the ground to lie there ignored. The wheel, her attribute, refers to the failure of the attempt to break her on the wheel; the martyr was finally beheaded with a sword.Artist:WEYDEN, Rogier van der Title: Diptych Painted in 1401-1450 , Flemish - - painting : religious 1440_Oil_on_oak_panel,_18,5_x_12_cm_(each)_Kunsthistorisches_Museum,_Vienna_The_two_small_panels,_representing_the_Madonna_and_St_Catherine_of_Alexandria,_respectively,_probably_formed_a_diptych._The_busts_of_prophets_on_the_outside_of_the_Ghent_Altarpiece_by_Jan_van_Eyck_were_the_model_for_the_bust_of_God_the_Father_at_the_top_of_the_left_panel._The_figures_of_Adam_and_Eve_were_from_the_same_source._The_picture_is_usually_regarded_as_an_early_work_by_Rogier_himself_from_the_years_1432-35,_but_the_figure_of_the_Madonna_is_probably_after_Jan_van_Eyck's_Madonna_of_the_Fountain,_dated_1439,_in_Antwerp._The_right_panel_is_rather_weaker,_and_is_not_by_the_same_painter_as_the_Madonna._As_a_king's_daughter,_Catherine_has_a_crown,_but_she_has_taken_it_off,_perhaps_a_sign_of_humility_and_reverence_before_the_Madonna,_and_has_placed_it_on_the_ground_to_lie_there_ignored._The_wheel,_her_attribute,_refers_to_the_failure_of_the_attempt_to_break_her_on_the_wheel;_the_martyr_was_finally_beheaded_with_a_sword.Artist:WEYDEN,_Rogier_van_der_Title:_Diptych___Painted_in__1401-1450___,__Flemish__-_-_painting__:_religious |

Portrait Diptych of Jean de Gros ID de tableau:: 63860 Voir la galerie dans Suède |
Portrait Diptych of Jean de Gros 1450s Oil on oak panel, 36 x 27 cm Mus?e des Beaux-Arts, Tournai Of the Madonnas in the portrait diptychs, the most interesting is the one accompanying the Portrait of Jean de Gros (Art Institute, Chicago). She represents one of the early types of half length figures of the Virgin, which were used in many pictures by Rogier's successors, and copied with what are often only very slight deviations. The head of Mary in particular recurs almost unchanged in many pictures from Rogier's workshop or by his close colleagues, and has come down to us, for instance, in a drawing that was intended as the model for a painting (Mus?e du Louvre, Paris). This panel of the Madonna formed a diptych with the portrait of Jean de Gros; both have the donor's motto and emblem on the back. The painting has suffered from its poor state of preservation, and may perhaps be by a workshop assistant.Artist:WEYDEN, Rogier van der Title: Portrait Diptych of Jean de Gros (left wing) Painted in 1401-1450 , Flemish - - painting : religious 1450s_Oil_on_oak_panel,_36_x_27_cm_Mus?e_des_Beaux-Arts,_Tournai_Of_the_Madonnas_in_the_portrait_diptychs,_the_most_interesting_is_the_one_accompanying_the_Portrait_of_Jean_de_Gros_(Art_Institute,_Chicago)._She_represents_one_of_the_early_types_of_half_length_figures_of_the_Virgin,_which_were_used_in_many_pictures_by_Rogier's_successors,_and_copied_with_what_are_often_only_very_slight_deviations._The_head_of_Mary_in_particular_recurs_almost_unchanged_in_many_pictures_from_Rogier's_workshop_or_by_his_close_colleagues,_and_has_come_down_to_us,_for_instance,_in_a_drawing_that_was_intended_as_the_model_for_a_painting_(Mus?e_du_Louvre,_Paris)._This_panel_of_the_Madonna_formed_a_diptych_with_the_portrait_of_Jean_de_Gros;_both_have_the_donor's_motto_and_emblem_on_the_back._The_painting_has_suffered_from_its_poor_state_of_preservation,_and_may_perhaps_be_by_a_workshop_assistant.Artist:WEYDEN,_Rogier_van_der_Title:_Portrait_Diptych_of_Jean_de_Gros_(left_wing)___Painted_in__1401-1450___,__Flemish__-_-_painting__:_religious |

St John Altarpiece ID de tableau:: 63861 Voir la galerie dans Suède |
St John Altarpiece 1455-60 Oil on oak panel, 77 x 48 cm Staatliche Museen, Berlin The left panel depicts the Naming of John the Baptist. Elisabeth lies in bed in the background after giving birth, while the pregnant Mary, the future mother of Jesus, brings the newborn child to his father Zacharias. Zacharias had been struck dumb for his doubts when an angel told him, during service in the temple, that he was to be the father of a son (this scene is shown in the lowest archivolt relief on the left). He therefore has to write down the name of the child. Mary, as the more important saint, is distinguished from Zacharias and Elisabeth by her aureole. The side panels of the St John Altarpiece do not merely show the beginning and end of the Baptist's earthly life. The parallels between the pictorial motifs also express moral conflict. On the left, the chaste Virgin Mary holds the newborn baby in her arms; she and Zacharias are looking at one another gravely, aware of the significance of the event.Artist:WEYDEN, Rogier van der Title: St John Altarpiece (left panel) Painted in 1401-1450 , Flemish - - painting : religious 1455-60_Oil_on_oak_panel,_77_x_48_cm_Staatliche_Museen,_Berlin_The_left_panel_depicts_the_Naming_of_John_the_Baptist._Elisabeth_lies_in_bed_in_the_background_after_giving_birth,_while_the_pregnant_Mary,_the_future_mother_of_Jesus,_brings_the_newborn_child_to_his_father_Zacharias._Zacharias_had_been_struck_dumb_for_his_doubts_when_an_angel_told_him,_during_service_in_the_temple,_that_he_was_to_be_the_father_of_a_son_(this_scene_is_shown_in_the_lowest_archivolt_relief_on_the_left)._He_therefore_has_to_write_down_the_name_of_the_child._Mary,_as_the_more_important_saint,_is_distinguished_from_Zacharias_and_Elisabeth_by_her_aureole._The_side_panels_of_the_St_John_Altarpiece_do_not_merely_show_the_beginning_and_end_of_the_Baptist's_earthly_life._The_parallels_between_the_pictorial_motifs_also_express_moral_conflict._On_the_left,_the_chaste_Virgin_Mary_holds_the_newborn_baby_in_her_arms;_she_and_Zacharias_are_looking_at_one_another_gravely,_aware_of_the_significance_of_the_event.Artist:WEYDEN,_Rogier_van_der_Title:_St_John_Altarpiece_(left_panel)___Painted_in__1401-1450___,__Flemish__-_-_painting__:_religious |

Portrait Diptych of Philippe de Croy ID de tableau:: 63863 Voir la galerie dans Suède |
Portrait Diptych of Philippe de Croy 1460 Oil on oak panel, 49 x 30 cm Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp Philippe de Croy's coat of arms surmounted by a helmet is framed, above, by the name of the subject of the portrait, and below by his title "Seigneur de Sempy." He bore this title from around 1452, but resigned it again in 1461. The painting must therefore have been done within that period. On the left, a vertical board in the panel has been renovated.Artist:WEYDEN, Rogier van der Title: Portrait Diptych of Philippe de Croy (reverse side) Painted in 1401-1450 , Flemish - - painting : other 1460_Oil_on_oak_panel,_49_x_30_cm_Koninklijk_Museum_voor_Schone_Kunsten,_Antwerp_Philippe_de_Croy's_coat_of_arms_surmounted_by_a_helmet_is_framed,_above,_by_the_name_of_the_subject_of_the_portrait,_and_below_by_his_title_"Seigneur_de_Sempy."_He_bore_this_title_from_around_1452,_but_resigned_it_again_in_1461._The_painting_must_therefore_have_been_done_within_that_period._On_the_left,_a_vertical_board_in_the_panel_has_been_renovated.Artist:WEYDEN,_Rogier_van_der_Title:_Portrait_Diptych_of_Philippe_de_Croy_(reverse_side)___Painted_in__1401-1450___,__Flemish__-_-_painting__:_other |
