EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Rajhrad Altarpiece, a masterpiece created by the talented Master of Raigern in 1420. Painted using tempera on panel, this extraordinary artwork measures an impressive 1011 x 1412 cm and is currently housed at the Narodni Galerie in Prague, Czech Republic. Originally commissioned for the Benedictine monastery at Raigern (now known as Rajhrad), this altarpiece tells a powerful story through its intricate details. The central focus of the painting is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, depicted with utmost realism and emotion. Surrounding him are angels and seraphs, creating a celestial atmosphere that contrasts with the cruelty inflicted upon him. The artist skillfully portrays various biblical characters such as apostles and thieves who witnessed this pivotal moment in Christian history. Symbolic elements like crosses, thorns, a crown, vinegar-soaked sponge, lance, and devil further enhance the narrative's depth. The Rajhrad Altarpiece exemplifies both medieval and Northern Renaissance artistic styles with its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant color palette. Its profound religious significance resonates even today as viewers are transported back to a time when faith played an integral role in people's lives. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exceptional reproduction quality captured in this photo print, art enthusiasts can now appreciate every brushstroke and immerse themselves in this timeless masterpiece from centuries ago.
