EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Saint Bartholomew from the Heilspiegel Altarpiece" by Konrad Witz, a renowned Swiss artist of the late Gothic period. Created around 1435, this mixed media masterpiece on oak panel measures 99.5x69.5 cm and is currently housed in the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. The artwork forms part of the outer side of the Heilsspiegelaltar (Mirror of Human Salvation altarpiece), which depicts events from both the Old Testament and ancient history as precursors to those found in the New Testament. Saint Bartholomew, an apostle and missionary mentioned in the Gospels, takes center stage here. Witz's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only Saint Bartholomew's pious expression but also his role as a disciple spreading Christianity throughout Germany during medieval times. The wooden panel exudes a sense of spirituality and devotion that was characteristic of Northern Renaissance art. This piece delves into themes such as martyrdom and salvation while showcasing Witz's mastery over religious iconography. It serves as a testament to his skillful portrayal of biblical figures within their historical context. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to an era where faith played a central role in people's lives. This print allows us to appreciate Witz's contribution to religious art and invites contemplation on our own spiritual journeys.
