EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Tempter" a stunning stone sculpture from Strasbourg Cathedral dating back to the late 13th century. Created by an anonymous French artist, this gothic masterpiece is housed in the Musee de l'Oeuvre de Notre Dame in Strasbourg, France. "The Tempter" portrays a male figure with intricate details and a mischievous expression. With its elongated form and exaggerated features, this allegorical representation of temptation showcases the artistic style prevalent during that era. The composition focuses on the seductive power of the apple held in one hand by "The Tempter". This symbolic fruit has long been associated with temptation and sin since biblical times. The sculpture's presence evokes curiosity about what lies beyond our moral boundaries. As we gaze upon this medieval artwork, we are transported to a time when religious symbolism played a significant role in art and society. Its Alsation origins add another layer of cultural significance to this piece. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every detail of "The Tempter" allowing us to appreciate its historical importance and artistic brilliance. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against temptation while showcasing the timeless beauty found within medieval art forms.
