EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Christ and the Twelve Apostles" by the German School of the 15th century. Painted with oil on wood, this stunning artwork measures 57x205 cm and is housed in the Tula Museum of Fine Arts in Tula, Russia. The image captures a momentous scene depicting Jesus Christ surrounded by his twelve apostles. Intriguingly, each apostle is portrayed with distinct attributes: Stigmata marks adorn Christ's hands as a symbol of his crucifixion; Peter holds a key representing his role as the gatekeeper to heaven; Andrew grasps a scallop shell signifying pilgrimage; James carries a staff reminiscent of his journey to Santiago de Compostela; John cradles an open book symbolizing divine wisdom. Meanwhile, Judas stands apart from the others, clutching a bag filled with silver coins that foreshadows his betrayal. The composition exudes spiritual significance through its meticulous attention to detail and rich symbolism. Each figure emanates devotion and reverence towards their leader, while also showcasing their individual characteristics. This extraordinary piece not only serves as an artistic marvel but also offers insight into religious narratives and iconography prevalent during its creation. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historical artistry like this one, we can now appreciate this timeless masterpiece without any copyright restrictions or limitations on its use for non-commercial purposes.
