Crucifixion et Jugement dernier

Jan van Eyck Netherlandish
ca. 1436–38
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 605
Ces tableaux, qui juxtaposent le sacrifice du Christ pour le salut de l’Homme et le Jugement dernier, sont des œuvres tardives du Brugeois Jan van Eyck, le peintre le plus acclamé du XVe siècle européen. La Crucifixion décrit l’événement tel que l’aurait vu un témoin oculaire. La scène se détache sur un paysage qui disparaît à l’horizon. Le Jugement dernier, en revanche, est structuré en trois tiers, et l’échelle des personnages reflète leur importance. Le texte gravé sur les cadres (originaux) est traduit de manière très littérale dans les tableaux, ce qui engendre une interaction entre mots et images. La moitié supérieure du Jugement dernier a été peinte en partie par un assistant.
