The Last Judgment

Artist: Crispijn van den Broeck (Netherlandish, 1524-1588)

Date: 1573

MediumOil on cradled panel

Collection: North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, NC, United States

Description

Here, the tormented souls in the foreground form part of a larger composition that divides the elect on the left from the damned on the right. At the top center is Christ. Surrounded by symbols of the four evangelists, he orchestrates the Final Judgment with the help of saints, prophets, and angels. The imagery accords well with scriptural descriptions of the Second Coming of Christ, when both the living and the dead would be judged according to the works of charity they had performed during their lifetimes.

The Meaning of the Avengers: Doomsday Poster

To anyone who doesn't want spoilers: close your eyes and skip this post. Don't click "Keep reading".

For those who still want to figure it out on their own: Hint.

Hint part 2 means "Doom" + "painting" + "go to Wikipedia and search for Doom painting".

This poster depicts a composition in the spirit of the "Last Judgment" from Christian mythology. But guess who is in Christ's place? That's right - Doom.

The structure is standard:

Top: Heaven.

Middle: Earth(s).

Bottom: Underworld.

The upper part of the composition depicts angels from Christian mythology, Doom’s deceased wife and son, and his castle in the background. Bringing his loved ones back is one of Victor’s goals.

In the lower section, to the right of the actual Doom - beneath his right arm - his right-hand man, Doctor Strange. Doom himself hides behind the rocks and gestures towards the figure in the left corner of the tapestry; he acts as a manipulator, directing the course.

The bottom-left corner is occupied by a mysterious, faceless figure in a cloak, holding a glowing staff. This is a ferryman steering his boat toward the worlds depicted in the center.

The large sphere in the very center is Earth. Since this is a tapestry in Doom's castle, it means this is his Earth. This is where the final battle will take place.

There are also other, smaller spheres at different distances from Doom's world. These include the Earth from the Sacred Timeline, the X-Men’s Earth, etc. These worlds originate from the staff held by "Charon." As soon as one of the glowing spheres is released, it begins to approach Victor’s Earth, while the next world starts to form for the incursion.

This is a very clever symbolic depiction of the plot and, without a doubt, a masterpiece among movie posters.

The Sistine Chapel is a chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the pope's official residence in Vatican City.

Originally known as the Cappella Magna ('Great Chapel'), it takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV, who had it built between 1473 and 1481.

Since that time, it has served as a place of both religious and functionary papal activity.

Today, it is the site of the papal conclave, the process by which a new pope is selected.

The chapel's fame lies mainly in the frescoes that decorate its interior, most particularly the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment, both by Michelangelo (1475–1564).

The Last Judgment is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Michelangelo covering the whole altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City.

It is a depiction of the Second Coming of Christ and the final and eternal judgment by God of all humanity.

The dead rise and descend to their fates, as judged by Christ who is surrounded by prominent saints.

Altogether there are over 300 figures, with nearly all the males and angels originally shown as nudes. Many were later partly covered up by painted draperies, of which some remain after recent cleaning and restoration.

Jan van Eyck (Flemish, 1390-1441) The Last Judgment, ca.1440-41 The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City Psalm 58 God Judges the Earth Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title. If in very deed ye speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men. For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth. The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things. Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears: Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely. God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions. They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened. Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun. Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath. The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth. Douay-Rheims Bible, Bishop Challoner Revision
