Description

The Second Coming, late 16th century, 96x127cm. Georgios Klontzas "DANCE OF PATRIARCHS AND BACILLES, DANCE OF HOLY PRIESTS AND PATRIARCHS, DANCE OF HOLY WOMEN AND BACILLES, DANCE OF HOLY ACHITES AND MARTYRS". Around the vertical axis created by the fiery river, which ends in Hell, is organized this performance of the Second Coming, one of Klondza's most important works. Above and in the middle is Jesus the Judge, flanked by John the Baptist and the Virgin Mary, the apostles and a multitude of angels. At his feet are the symbols of the evangelists and the dead awaiting the hour of Judgment. Below are represented the Preparation of the throne, the righteous in three successive rows, and at the bottom the resurrection of the dead with the skeletons emerging from the tombs. On the right is the archangel Michael raising the sword, threatening a group of people, and the rest of the section is occupied by Hell with its fiery furnace, the Renaissance building with the dome. Finally, down in the middle of the image, the prophets David and Ezekiel are depicted with plates, on which there are inscriptions referring to Hell.

Η Δευτέρα Παρουσία τέλη 16ου αιώνα, 96x127εκ. Γεώργιος Κλόντζας "ΧΟΡΟC ΠΑΤΡΙΑΡΧΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΒΑCΙΛΕΩΝ, ΧΟΡΟC ΙΕΡΕΩΝ ΑΡΧΙΕΡΕΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΠΑΤΡΙΑΡΧΩΝ, ΧΟΡΟC ΑΓΙΩΝ ΓΥΝΑΙΚΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΒΑCΙΛΕΩΝ, ΧΟΡΟC ΟCΙΩΝ ΑCΚΗΤΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΜΑΡΤΥΡΩΝ". Γύρω από τον κατακόρυφο άξονα που δημιουργείται από τον πύρινο ποταμό, ο οποίος καταλήγει στην Κόλαση, οργανώνεται αυτή η παράσταση της Δευτέρας Παρουσίας, ένα από τα σημαντικότερα έργα του Κλόντζα. Επάνω και στο μέσο παριστάνεται ο Ιησούς Κριτής, πλαισιωμένος από τον Ιωάννη τον Πρόδρομο και την Παναγία, τους αποστόλους και πλήθος αγγέλων. Στα πόδια του βρίσκονται τα σύμβολα των ευαγγελιστών και νεκροί που αναμένουν την ώρα της Κρίσης. Πιο κάτω παριστάνονται η Ετοιμασία του θρόνου, οι δίκαιοι σε τρεις διαδοχικές σειρές και στο κάτω μέρος η έγερση των νεκρών με τους σκελετούς που αναδύονται από τους τάφους. Δεξιά βρίσκεται ο αρχάγγελος Μιχαήλ που υψώνει το σπαθί, απειλώντας μία ομάδα ανθρώπων και το υπόλοιπο τμήμα καταλαμβάνεται από την Κόλαση με την κάμινο του πυρός, το αναγεννησιακό οικοδόμημα με τον τρούλλο. Τέλος, κάτω στο μέσον της εικόνας, εικονίζονται οι προφήτες Δαβίδ και Ιεζεκιήλ με πλάκες, στις οποίες υπάρχουν επιγραφές που αναφέρονται στην Κόλαση.
