Tuba Mirum Spargens Sonum c. 1888

"Tuba Mirum Spargens Sonum" is a lithograph created by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour in 1888, currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. This black and white print depicts a scene from the "Last Judgment," with angels playing trumpets in the clouds. Fantin-Latour's use of dramatic chiaroscuro and swirling lines creates a sense of urgency and chaos. The image is a powerful reminder of the finality of judgment and the power of divine music. The piece is a fine example of Fantin-Latour's interest in combining traditional religious imagery with modern artistic techniques.
