EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of the St. Martin of Tours - Altar siding, depicting scenes from the history and life of Saint Martin. Created by the Icelandic School in the 14th century, this embroidery masterpiece is a true testament to their skill and craftsmanship. The photo captures a section of the altar siding, displaying twelve intricately embroidered scenes that depict significant moments from Saint Martin's life. Each scene tells a story, transporting viewers back to medieval times and allowing them to immerse themselves in this rich religious narrative. The vibrant colors and fine details are beautifully preserved in this photograph by Leonard de Selva. The delicate stitches come alive as they create stunning imagery against a backdrop of rich fabric. Originally housed at Grenjadarstad in North Iceland, this remarkable piece now resides at Musee du Louvre in Paris, France. Its historical significance cannot be understated; it serves as both an artistic treasure and a window into the religious beliefs and practices of its time. For art enthusiasts, historians, or those seeking spiritual inspiration, this print offers a glimpse into an era long gone but forever captured through needlework artistry. It is truly a remarkable representation of Saint Martin's legacy and serves as a reminder of our shared human history.
