EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite detail from Hans Burgkmair the Elder's Saint John Altarpiece, created in Munich, Germany, in 1518, showcases the venerated figure of Saint Erasmus of Formiae. Saint Erasmus, a fourth-century Italian saint and bishop, is renowned for his unwavering faith and miraculous escapes from persecution. In this artwork, he is depicted in profile, wearing a miter and holding a staff adorned with an emblem of an "E" inside an "M," symbolizing his name. The intricate detailing on his robes and the folds of his miter reveal the masterful skill of Burgkmair, a prominent German painter of the 16th century. The ancient saint's serene expression and the delicate rendering of his features evoke a sense of reverence and awe. This detail is a testament to the enduring power of religious art and the profound impact it has on the human spirit. The Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, is home to this magnificent altarpiece, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
