EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Group of Men and Women Worship Two Idols" transports us back to the year 1469. Created by Hans Schilling or one of his followers, this artwork is a mesmerizing blend of ink, washes, and tempera on paper. Measuring at 28.6x20.3 cm, it currently resides in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The scene depicted here originates from Baarlem and Josaphat Ms Ludwig XV 9 - a popular medieval Christianized version of the Buddha story. The artist's association with bookseller Dieboldt Lauber in Hagenau suggests that Schilling himself may have worked there as well. This piece delves into themes deeply rooted in Christianity during the Middle Ages. It explores concepts such as idolatry, demons, devil worshiping, and religious devotion through its intricate details and masterful illumination techniques. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to an era where religion played a central role in people's lives. The juxtaposition of Christian elements with Buddhist imagery adds an intriguing layer to our understanding of cultural exchange during that time. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved and gain insight into historical perspectives on faith and spirituality during the medieval period.
