EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Altarpiece with the Head of St John the Baptist" created by an English School in the 15th century. The artwork, made from alabaster and wood, is housed in the renowned Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. Notably, this masterpiece was crafted in Nottingham during a significant period known as the House of Tudor. The intricate details of this altarpiece are truly awe-inspiring. The combination of wood and alabaster materials creates a striking contrast that enhances its decorative appeal. Every element has been meticulously carved and adorned with ornate designs, reflecting the Gothic style prevalent during medieval times. As we delve into its historical context, we are transported to England during the Tudor dynasty (1485-1603). This altarpiece stands as a testament to religious devotion and serves as an iconic representation of St John the Baptist. Its significance within Christianity is further emphasized by its inclusion in places of worship.
