EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Muhlhausen altarpiece, also known as the Prague altarpiece. The open altarpiece features three prominent saints of Bohemia: Saint Vitus (Saint Guy), Saint Wenceslas (or Wenceslas, Duke of Bohemia), and Saint Sigismund. Painted in 1385 by Czech artists from the 14th century, this masterpiece is a remarkable example of Czech art. In the image, we see Saint Vitus holding a palm branch and a globe, symbolizing his martyrdom and universal presence. Next to him stands Saint Wenceslas, bearing a mesh size and proudly displaying the decor flag of the imperial eagle of Bohemia. Lastly, we have Saint Sigismund depicted as king with his scepter and globe. The painting's intricate details are brought to life through tempera and oil on canvas technique with maroufle on wood support. Originally housed in the chapel of St. Vitus near Stuttgart, Germany, it now resides in Staatsgalerie museum. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures this historical artwork through his lens in stunning detail. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also provides insight into medieval religious iconography prevalent during that time period. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply fascinated by history, this photograph offers a glimpse into centuries-old craftsmanship that continues to inspire awe today.
