Further details
ATTRIBUTED TO CORNELIS DE WAEL (1592-1667), THE LAST JUDGMENT, OIL ON PANEL, DATED AND MONOGRAMMED
This impressive Last Judgement is being offered for the first time on the open market. First published by Stoesser in 2018, the painting is listed as an unusual work by Cornelis de Wael (1592-1667), a name more commonly associated with battle scenes in the Italianate style, but this time influenced by the Mannerist precepts of Flemish painters such as Jacob de Backer (c. 1545-c. 1585) and, before him, Frans Floris (1519-1570). It is from Floris's work, particularly the Last Judgement triptych painted for the Bourgeois family burial monument (Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels, inv. no. 92), that de Wael draws the composition of this painting, carefully depicting a number of very specific motifs. On the right of the composition, for example, we see the goat-headed demon chaining the hands of a man writhing in pain, as well as the demon bending over, seen from behind, trying to hang another of the damned with a chain. On the side of the righteous, to the left, the artist uses another Floris motif, a young woman imploring Christ with her hands, led by an angel, this time taken from another composition depicting the Last Judgement in the Kunsthistorischesmuseum in Vienna (inv. no. GG 3581).
