EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of a Silver altar dating back to 1620, with a frame made of ebony, from the chapel of Husum Castle. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly remarkable, showcasing the talent of Albrecht von Horn of Augsburg who created the silverwork.
The central focus of this altar is the Crucifixion scene, depicting Jesus Christ on the cross at Golgotha. Surrounding him are figures such as Mary Magdalene and John the Apostle, mourning his death. This piece was originally associated with Duchess Augusta, sister of Christian IV.
The combination of silver and ebony creates a striking contrast that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of this artwork. The attention to detail in both the metalworking and frame design is evident, making it a true masterpiece from the 17th century.
Displayed at the National Museum of Denmark, this Silver altar serves as a reminder of religious devotion and artistic excellence during that time period. It stands as a testament to both historical significance and creative ingenuity, capturing viewers' attention with its timeless beauty.
