EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning model of the high altar of St. Peters Abbey in Salzburg, created around 1777 by the Austrian School of the 18th century. Standing at an impressive height of 119.4 cm, this wooden masterpiece is currently held in a private collection. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this neoclassical work. Adorned with polychrome parcel-gilt, it features figures of saints Virgil, Rupert, Vitalis, and Amandus on its lower tier. The second tier is adorned with delicate angels and putti. Atop the altar sits a winged angel holding a cross while seated on a cloud behind a radiant sun. Painted images depicting Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine of Siena before the Virgin and Child can be seen on one side, while God the Father with the Holy Spirit graces another panel. The overall composition exudes grandeur and elegance through its ornate columns, gilded accents, and painted scenes. This exquisite piece represents not only religious significance but also architectural beauty. With its elaborate design reminiscent of altarpieces from that era, this miniature architectural marvel serves as a testament to both artistic skill and devotion to faith. The combination of sculpture, painting, and architecture creates an enchanting visual experience that captures the essence of religious art during this period.
