1135-140 AD: The Golden Altar from Lisbjerg Church, Near Arhus, Denmark This exquisite print showcases the Golden Altar from Lisbjerg Church, located near Arhus, Denmark, dating back to the 12th century. The altar, comprised of an altar, retable, and crucifix, is surrounded by an intricately designed arched structure. The altar measures 158 cm in width and was most likely intended for the main altar of St. Mary's in Aarhus. The altar is a stunning example of the metalworking artistry of the Middle Ages. The altar's surface is adorned with rolled and chased sheet copper, gilded bronze casting, and intricate reliefs. The central focus of the altar is the crucifix, which features a depiction of the child Christ on the cross, surrounded by various iconographical elements. The altar's retable and arched structure add an additional layer of intrigue and beauty. The retable, which is the decorative panel behind the altar, is also adorned with intricate reliefs and decorations. The arched structure, which frames the altar, adds a sense of grandeur and importance to the piece. The Golden Altar from Lisbjerg Church is a testament to the rich history of Christianity in Denmark and Scandinavia during the Middle Ages. The intricate metalwork and iconographical details demonstrate the advanced metallurgical techniques of the time and the importance of religious art in medieval society. This altar, with its stunning gold and bronze adornments, is a valuable addition to the National Museum of Denmark's collection and a reminder of Denmark's rich cultural heritage.
