These two pictures, of almost miraculous detail, are defining examples of fifteenth-century Netherlandish painting. When they were in the Tatistcheff collection in the nineteenth century they were mounted as the wings of a triptych whose centerpiece was an Adoration of the Magi (stolen before 1841; see Passavant 1841). This has led to considerable speculation as to whether the works were originally meant as a diptych or parts of a triptych. Some scholars believe they were elements of a triptych but have proposed different centerpieces (see Kern 1927 and Philip 1971). However, as Eichberger (1987) has pointed out, diptychs treating these two themes were in use for private devotion, especially in court circles. Also, the frames, which are original, show closely-aligned marks from hinges and traces of an old clasp.

No information about the commission for the panels has survived, but, given their remarkable quality, their production by a court artist, their intimate presentation in a manner resembling that of manuscript illumination, and, above all, the Latin texts inscribed on the frames in a protohumanist script, the patron was likely a highly educated member of the court of Philip the Good at Brussels. Some writers have plausibly suggested that this individual may be the man elegantly dressed in an ermine-trimmed coat and extravagant hat who is shown at the right beneath the cross in the Crucifixion.

These two diminutive panels juxtapose an astonishingly detailed depiction of the natural world with a hieratically organized vision of heaven and hell. In contrast to the panoramic vista offered in the Crucifixion, with its bird's-eye view, atmospheric sky, and deep space, the Last Judgment is presented vertically, compressed into the flat foreground plane of the painting and divided into three layers corresponding to the realms of heaven, earth, and hell. The highly imaginative scenes of the diptych are augmented by the written word in the form of inscriptions on the frames. These inscriptions are placed next to the visual representations they most closely describe, so that the viewer can simultaneously experience text and image.

The Crucifixion and the Last Judgment show obvious links with miniaturist style; in fact, the diptych has often been compared to the Turin-Milan Hours, the famous illuminated book to which Jan van Eyck perhaps contributed images, in particular those attributed to Hand G. The panels of the diptych have indeed been given to Hand G, as well as to Hubert and Jan van Eyck (see Hulin de Loo 1911, Panofsky 1935 and 1953, Wehle and Salinger 1947, Bruyn 1957, and Herzner 1995). Panofsky (1935) was the first to mention that the quality of execution in the two panels is not the same, and technical examination by Ainsworth and Buck in 1995 indicates that while the compositions of the two works seem to be underdrawn by the same artist (undoubtedly Jan van Eyck), portions of the Last Judgment were executed by an assistant.

Scholars have long disagreed about the dating of the diptych, offering opinions that range from 1413 (Durrieu 1920) to about 1440 (Silver 2006 and Borchert 2008), with most others (Baldass 1952, Peters 1968, Philip 1971, Snyder 1985, Eichberger 1987, and Buck 1995) placing it in the 1430s, that is, close to the time of the renowned Ghent Altarpiece. The style of the underdrawing supports a date in the 1430s. Van Buren (personal communication in departmental files), however, notes that, except for the garb of the possible patron depicted in the Crucifixion, which represents the fashions of about 1430, the costumes shown appear to date from the 1420s. These various factors argue that a date in the early 1430s would seem most likely for these two paintings. If this date is correct, they would be among Van Eyck's earliest surviving works.

Heinrich Zimmermann. "Gemäldegalerie: Über eine frühholländische Kreuztragung." Amtliche Berichte aus den Königlichen Kunstsammlungen 38 (September 1917), cols. 22–23, suggests that the works are by Ouwater, about 1440.

(overall and details), attributes them to Hubert and Jan van Eyck working together, and, on the basis of costume, places them between 1400 and 1420; finds the inscriptions on the surviving frame uniquely characteristic of works from the van Eyck workshop, including the Ghent Altarpiece; records the inscriptions on Saint Michael's armor [which today are largely illegible], noting that the two mysterious words "adonay" and "agla" (meaning "God") inscribed there appear frequently in the core works ascribed to the brothers; doubts that the original ensemble included a central panel, although an unrelated work may have been added at the whim of a subsequent owner; believes the pictures can be identified with a diptych listed as no. 1266 in the duc de Berry's posthumous inventory of 1416: "uns grans tableaux en deux pièces de painture, l'un de la Passion Nostre Seigneur et l'autre du Jugement"; notes that this work was not mentioned in the Dukes 1413 inventory and would thus have been acquired by him between 1413 and 1416; believes the Hermitage diptych could acurately be called "large" in the context of French princely inventories of the period; notes that at the time of the inventory, the work in question was no longer part of the Duke's succession, but had been given to a chapel in Bourges.

P. Post. "Forschungen: Noch einmal die Petersburger Tafeln der Brüder van Eyck." Kunstchronik und Kunstmarkt, n.s., 32 (1920–21), pp. 34–36, rejects Durrieu's proposal [Ref. 1920] that these panels may be the diptych mentioned in the 1416 inventory of the duc de Berry, observing that in comparison with other princely possessions of the period, they would have been considered not only "not large," but "small"; accepts Passavant's account of the lost central panel, and claims that Christus's copy of the right wing in Berlin was originally part of a triptych and included grisaille saints on its reverse, as did the Hermitage panels before they were transferred to canvas

Harry B. Wehle and Margaretta Salinger. The Metropolitan Museum of Art: A Catalogue of Early Flemish, Dutch and German Paintings. New York, 1947, pp. 2–12, ill., attribute them to Hubert and find them stylistically analagous to the "Hand G" miniatures of the Turin-Milan hours; are inclined to accept that a central panel was part of the original ensemble and favor Panofsky's view (see Ref. 1927–28) that a drawing in Berlin of the Adoration of the Magi would be a likely composition for this center.

Theodor Musper. Untersuchungen zu Rogier van der Weyden und Jan van Eyck. Stuttgart, 1948, pp. 85–90, 94–96, 102–3, 107, pl. 113, attributes them to Jan; identifies the rider with the turban headdress under the right cross as Philip the Good at about age 30, and dates the painting after May 19, 1425, the date on which Jan entered his service.

Julius S. Held. "Book Reviews: Harry B. Wehle and Margaretta M. Salinger . . ., 1947." Art Bulletin 31 (June 1949), pp. 140–41, considers it unlikely that these panels were originally conceived as the wings of a triptych with an Adoration of the Magi at its center; asserts that it would be an iconographic anomaly for a Crucifixion to serve as the left wing of an Adoration, and notes, moreover, that the MMA Crucifixion is clearly pervaded by a movement from the left side and that the "finality" of the right edge acts like a barrier; comments that the woman standing at the lower right edge, probably a donor, would not have turned her back to the central panel; prefers to think of the Crucifixion as the right wing of an altarpiece and the Last Judgment as one of its outside panels.

Madrid, 1952, pp. 41–42, 104 n. 5, ascribes them to Hubert and calls them "wings of a triptych"; states that their acquisition from a convent in Spain "where they must have been for centuries" allows us to consider them one of the donations of Juan II, or at least to conclude they were present in Spain by the first half of the fifteenth century; publishes inventories of Queen Isabella, including docket no. 186 of May 3 and January 13, 1499, which lists a diptych in a gilded frame with the Crucifixion and Last Judgment; believes that this may correspond to the MMA works.

Held 1949]; rejects Held's opinion of the same year that the Crucifixion was the right wing and the Last Judgment one of the outside panels of an altarpiece, observing that outside panels were usually given less sumptuous treatment while these are set in identical gilded and inscribed frames; considers improbable Musper's [see Ref. 1948] identification of a figure under the right cross as Philip the Good.

[Luisa Marcucci] and Stanley Ferber in Galleria degli Uffizi. McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Art. 5, New York, 1969, p. 404, as possibly an early collaboration of Hubert and Jan, probably left incomplete at Hubert's death, and finished by his "conscientious brother".

Cesar Peman y Pemartin. Juan van Eyck y España. Cadiz, 1969, pp. 63–64, fig. 36, erroneously as from the Mellun [sic] collection; says it is tempting to place them early in Jan's oeuvre; observes that they may be connected in some way with his voyage to Spain, adding that it is logical to assume that they were in Spain from an early time.

Charles Sterling. Letter. February 20, 1971, thinks they should be called "Attributed to Jan van Eyck," although one may still reasonably hesitate between Jan and a close, most able, follower; personally believes in Jan's authorship noting that "Hubert is to be excluded not because of his nonexistence (which is very far from being proven) but because of the incompatibility of what we know of his life and may suppose to have been his style".

Art Bulletin 53 (March 1971), p. 9 n. 38, pp. 11–13, 17, 18 n. 66, fig. 42 (Crucifixion), supports Held's [see Ref. 1955] identification of the painter with the painter of the Hermits and Pilgrims in the Ghent Altarpiece, concluding that "since the Diptych with its alpine vista is in all probability later than 1426, this author can only be Jan van Eyck, Hubert having died on September 18, 1426"; gives evidence which he believes indicates that the MMA panels were in Bruges between 1432 and 1437.

Châtelet 1980, p. 50], notes that the feminine silhouette seen from behind at the left in the Crucifixion must be a mate to the Erythreaen sibyl on the right [see Ref. Panofsky 1953] and would thus be a European sibyl, probably the Cumaen sibyl.

Albert Châtelet. Van Eyck. Bologna, 1979, pp. 34, 56, colorpl. 6, illustrates them with works of Jan van Eyck, but comments that it is not altogether certain that the panels are from the same hand, as the Last Judgment is weaker in composition and handling than the Crucifixion; believes they may originally have been a diptych.

Brussels, 1980, pp. 45–56, figs. 3, 6 (Crucifixion and detail), accepts the attribution to Jan; dates them between 1422 and 1424, when the artist worked for John of Bavaria, noting that in the Crucifixion a man wears the plain broad-brimmed hat of the type worn by partisans of John of Bavaria; supports Panofsky's [Ref. 1953] identification of the woman at the lower right in the Crucifixion as the Erythrean Sibyl and finds "seductive" Kammerer-Nouvel's [Ref. 1974] suggestion that the female figure at the left with her back turned to us may be a European sibyl, probably the Cumaen sibyl; believes that the horsemen seen from the rear were inspired by Altichiero's Crucifixion in the oratory of San Giorgio in Padua; considers it most likely that the two panels were originally a diptych.

Elisabeth Dhanens. Hubert and Jan van Eyck. New York, 1980, pp. 359–61, ill. (color), discusses the diptych with works by "Anonymous Epigone and Imitators"; notes that an altarpiece formerly in the church of St. Michael in Ghent and now lost was iconographically similar to the Last Judgment.

Wiesbaden, 1987, pp. 1–137, ill., notes that the shield held by Saint Michael in the Last Judgment precisely evokes a reliquary preserved at the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel, suggesting a connection with France; identifies the female figure seen from behind on the lower right of the Crucifixion as the Cumaen sibyl, whose prophecies referred to the Passion and also to Christ 's return to earth; suggests that the parallel figure on the left may be the Eritriaen sibyl.

Worms, 1995, pp. 135, 201, 262–65, 267–68, 270–71, colorpl. 10, accepts the connection of these panels with works ascribed to "Hand G" of the Turin-Milan Hours, whom he appears to identify with Jan van Eyck; sees the turbaned female figure at the lower right of the Crucifixion not as a sibyl [see Ref. Panofsky 1953], but as an early idea for Jan's subsequent use of oriental dress for his sibyls on the wings of the Ghent altarpiece; judging from the view in the background of the Crucifixion, believes the artist must have seen the Alps, perhaps before 1426.

Montgomery 1994 and Leonardi 2008], perhaps corresponding to the "ninth hour" (about 3 p.m.) in the biblical account; observes, however, that the moon in its waning gibbous phase could not occupy this position in the sky.
