Petrus Christus, Christ as the Man of Sorrows, c. 1450

Petrus Christus, 15th century, Christ as the Man of Sorrows

Most days I take a walk near my house, and while walking, I would hold up my hands and imagine wounds in my palms, think about what it meant that the Great Judge, the Lord of the Universe, would show me his own relaxed, pierced hands in his judgment. This was the judge who would look right through me at the end of time. And I realized, not without bafflement, that I am invited to long for my own judgment. Let me explain. I do not long for punishment in a frenzy of holy, creepy masochism, nor do I long to be told all my faults. I hate being in trouble. I am an eldest child, after all. I would like nothing better than to be told I have been right about everything, always.  And yet – and yet – Petrus Christus’s picture of Jesus the Judge makes me think, O God, I want you to purge all the dross and nonsense and pettiness from my heart. Make me soft; make me love. Please judge me, with your lily and your sword and most of all, your very human wounds. Lay open my heart to you and to others, cut out the nonsense, grow the love. I actually do not really know what I am asking for, other than that I’m sure that the purgation process will be rather painful in unexpected ways. But I see that you, as judge, are the only person I could ask this terrible question, and trust that it will be good. Only Christ is to be trusted with judgment when time is over; only he can redeem time at all.

A Goldsmith in his Shop (saint eligius), oil on panel

By Petrus Christus, Netherlandish, 1449

I am especially fascinated by how Christus treats the edges of his subjects. The standing male - the way his headwear obscures his face, but there seems to be a missing shadow. His approach to composition has echoes of the disegno so important to his contemporaries in Florence...
