EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the left wing of the High Altar of St. Peters in Hamburg, known as the Grabower Altar, created by Master Bertram of Minden in 1383. The intricate details and vibrant colors come to life through tempera on panel, capturing the essence of this masterpiece. Measuring an impressive 173x169 cm, this artwork is housed at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. The detail captured in this particular section reveals a significant moment from biblical history - the Creation of the Sun, Moon, and Stars alongside a division between Heaven and Hell. Master Bertram's skillful brushwork brings forth a sense of awe as we witness God's anthropomorphic presence overseeing his creation while surrounded by celestial bodies. On the other side lies Satan himself, fallen from grace with his menacing presence symbolizing evil and temptation. The inclusion of astronomy within this religious context adds another layer to its significance. It reminds us that art not only serves as a visual representation but also holds cultural and historical importance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece through our print lens courtesy of www. bridgemanart. com, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and its ability to transport us back in time to an era where faith and art intertwined seamlessly.
