The Raising of the Cross [center, left, and right panels], c. 1480/1490 - A Captivating Masterpiece of Northern Renaissance Art
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This stunning print captures an extraordinary altarpiece created by the renowned German artist, Master of the Starck Triptych, during the fifteenth century. Titled "The Raising of the Cross" this masterpiece showcases a pivotal moment in Christian history - Jesus Christ's crucifixion. Intricately detailed and richly colored, this oil painting depicts three panels that seamlessly blend together to create a harmonious narrative. The center panel portrays Jesus being raised on the cross with profound emotion etched across his face. On either side are scenes filled with symbolism; one features a group of horsemen clad in armor while gesturing dramatically towards Christ's suffering figure, representing cruelty and human reaction to his sacrifice. Notably present throughout these panels are various animals such as dogs and frogs symbolizing different aspects like loyalty or transformation. The inclusion of skulls reminds viewers of mortality and serves as a reminder of our own impermanence. Masterfully executed brushstrokes bring life to every detail - from intricate bone structures to flowing robes worn by Madonna figures surrounding Jesus' crucifixion scene. This artwork is truly a testament to the skill and mastery achieved during this period in art history. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this old master's work continues to captivate audiences with its powerful depiction of religious devotion and deep emotional resonance. It stands as an enduring testament to both faith and artistic excellence within Northern Renaissance tradition.
