EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the central section of the Ambierle Altarpiece, a masterpiece created by the Flemish School in the 15th century. Crafted from gilded and painted walnut wood, this extraordinary piece measures an impressive 560 x 225 cm when open. Housed in the Eglise de Saint-Martin in Ambierle, France, it is also known as Retable de la Passion. Carved in a renowned Brussels workshop, this altarpiece features painted panels that were executed by none other than Rogier van der Weyden's studio. Van der Weyden himself was a prominent artist of his time (1399-1464), and these panels are believed to have been completed under his supervision. The polyptych was generously bequeathed to the church by Michel de Chaugy in 1476 according to van der Weyden's will. It depicts scenes from the Passion of Christ including his Crucifixion and Deposition with incredible detail and precision. In total, there are 51 individuals depicted within this remarkable artwork. With its intricate carvings and exquisite paintings, this altarpiece stands as a testament to both devotion and piety during medieval times. Its historical significance cannot be overstated as it represents not only a legacy but also a gift bestowed upon future generations who can appreciate its beauty and religious symbolism.
