The Judgment Day, Douglas-French (Français)

from National Gallery of Art Talks · host National Gallery of Art

En 1927, James Weldon Johnson, personnage emblématique de la Renaissance de Harlem, publie son chef-d'œuvre, God’s Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse. Chaque sermon, sous forme de poème, est accompagné d'une illustration d'Aaron Douglas, un jeune artiste afro-américain récemment venu vivre à Harlem. Des années plus tard, Douglas commence à traduire ses illustrations en peintures à huile de grand format. The Judgment Day est le dernier d'une série de huit tableaux. Au centre, l'imposant ange Gabriel enjambe terre et mer. Avec sa trompette, l'archange appelle les nations de la terre à se présenter au Jugement.
