EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Abraham before Melchizedek from the Heilspiegel Altarpiece" transports viewers back to the rich tapestry of biblical history. Painted by Konrad Witz in 1435, this mixed media masterpiece on oak panel measures 78x68.5 cm and is housed in the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. Part of the Mirror of Human Salvation altarpiece, this scene depicts a significant moment from the Old Testament that foreshadows events in the New Testament. Melchizedek, King of Jerusalem, extends an offering of bread and wine to Abraham as a symbol of friendship and alliance. The painting's intricate details showcase Witz's mastery over his craft during the late Gothic period. The soldier clad in armor stands beside Abraham, emphasizing both their royal status and their commitment to Christianity. The wooden panel exudes an air of medieval mystique while highlighting Germany's influence on Northern Renaissance art. Through its religious symbolism and historical significance, this artwork serves as a visual representation of salvation within Christian theology. It reminds us that even ancient stories hold profound meaning for contemporary believers. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every nuance and brushstroke with meticulous precision.
