EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Altarpiece of St John the Baptist, a masterpiece created by Jacques Durandi in the 15th century. The tempera on panel artwork measures an impressive 216 x 192 cm and is currently housed in the Musee d Art et d Histoire at Palais Massena in Nice, France. The altarpiece depicts Saint John the Baptist as its central figure, flanked by Saint Paul and Saint John the Evangelist on his right side, and Saint Michael and Saint Barbara on his left. Above them are beautifully portrayed saints including Saint Peter, Saint Lucy, Christ with symbols representing his Passion, Saint Agatha, and Saint Gratus. Beneath these heavenly figures lie scenes from St. John's life; from preaching in the wilderness to his tragic decollation. Each detail has been meticulously painted with vibrant colors that bring this religious narrative to life. Originally located in Luceram's church before finding its current home at Musee d Art et d Histoire, this altarpiece is a testament to Durandi's exceptional talent as an artist during this period. Its intricate composition and skillful execution make it a true treasure of French art history. This stunning print allows us to appreciate every delicate brushstroke of Durandi's work while capturing the spiritual essence emanating from this remarkable altarpiece.
