EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Altarpiece of Sainte-Chapelle, a masterpiece that depicts the Resurrection, enamelled by Leonard Limosin. Created in 1553 using enamelled brass, this artwork measures 107x75 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The photograph captures every intricate detail of this stunning piece from the Limousin school. The altarpiece portrays a momentous scene where Jesus rises triumphantly from his tomb after his crucifixion. Surrounding him are celestial beings adorned with delicate wings and golden halos, symbolizing angels witnessing this miraculous event. A ladder leans against the cross as soldiers stand guard nearby while holding spears and banners. Intricately crafted wreaths and fleur de lys motifs add an ornate touch to the composition, reflecting the Renaissance period's attention to detail and elegance. Atop an intricately designed altar stand two donors who commissioned this work: Diane de Poitiers (1499-1566) and Henri II (1519-59). Their presence signifies their devotion to Christianity and their support for religious art during their reign. This print allows us to appreciate not only Limosin's exceptional craftsmanship but also the historical significance of this altarpiece within its cultural context. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time, capturing moments of faith and spirituality for generations to come.
