EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable group of wooden sculptures from the Isenheim Altarpiece, dating back to around 1490. Crafted by the skilled hands of Nikolaus Hagenauer, these gilded wood sculptures stand tall at an impressive size of 167.5x90 cm. Currently housed in the Musee d'Unterlinden in Colmar, France, this masterpiece is truly a sight to behold. The photograph captures the exquisite details and artistry that went into creating these sculptures. Flanked by St Jerome and St Augustine, the central figure of St Anthony enthroned takes center stage. Surrounding him are twelve apostles, each intricately carved with precision and finesse. The wooden figures exude a sense of reverence and spirituality as they depict various saints and disciples surrounding Christ himself. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is awe-inspiring; every fold of fabric and expression on their faces tells a story. Nikolaus de Haguenau's talent shines through his creation as he brings life to these religious icons through his mastery over wood carving techniques. This print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind these sculptures. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by religious iconography, this stunning image offers a glimpse into one of history's most treasured artistic achievements – the Isenheim Altarpiece.
