EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from "The Damned" a fresco painting that forms part of "The Last Judgement" created between 1547-50. The artwork was executed by the Romanian School in the 16th century and can be found at the Church of St George, located within the Voronet Monastery in Bukovina, Romania. Photographed in July 1980 by John Bethell, this image beautifully captures the essence of this religious masterpiece. The scene depicts an array of demons and devils tormenting sinners as they endure their punishment in hell. With its biblical references and strong ties to Christianity, this mural serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences one faces for their sins. The painted church is renowned for its intricate details and vibrant colors, which are skillfully showcased in this photograph. As viewers delve into the image's depths, they will notice how every brushstroke brings life to each demon depicted with striking realism. While nudity may raise eyebrows among some observers due to societal norms, it is important to note that these artistic choices were made within a religious context rather than for gratuitous purposes. This piece invites contemplation on themes such as redemption and salvation while also serving as a testament to both faith and artistic excellence. As we explore this remarkable print by John Bethell, we are transported back through time to witness an extraordinary work that continues to captivate audiences with its profound message centuries after its creation.
