EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the central panel from the renowned Altarpiece of the Crucifixion, found in the Church of Chartreuse de Champmol. Created around 1391 by Jacques de Baerze or Baers, this gilded wood masterpiece is an exquisite example of Netherlandish art. In this particular section, we are drawn into a scene filled with profound symbolism and emotion. At the foot of the cross stands Mary Magdalene, her face etched with grief as she mourns the crucified Christ. Holy women surround her, their sorrow palpable as they witness this pivotal moment in religious history. An angel hovers above them all, serving as a celestial presence amidst earthly despair. On either side of Jesus hang two thieves who met their fate alongside him on that fateful day. The devil lurks nearby, his malevolent presence contrasting sharply against the purity and divinity embodied by Virgin Mary. The intricate gilt details add an ethereal glow to this medieval tableau while soldiers stand guard below, oblivious to the divine significance unfolding before them. A ladder leans against the cross - a poignant reminder that salvation is within reach for those who seek it. This exceptional retable captures both Gothic aesthetics and spiritual devotion with its meticulous craftsmanship and powerful imagery. Preserved at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France, it continues to inspire awe and reverence among art enthusiasts worldwide.
