EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite detail of the altarpiece in Hallstatt parish church, located in Upper Austria. The altarpiece, completed around 1520 by Leonard Astl, is a stunning example of Gothic artistry. In this particular detail, we see Mary, the mother of Jesus, holding her infant son while being crowned by angels. The craftsmanship of the carving is truly remarkable; every delicate feature is brought to life with precision and skill. This piece stands out as it is the only work that Astl signed himself. It serves as a testament to his talent and dedication. The altar itself is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, making this scene even more significant within its religious context. The image captures a moment filled with reverence and devotion as Mary's role as both mother and spiritual figurehead are celebrated. Through this photograph from "Osterreich - Land Und Volk" we are transported back to 1935 when this masterpiece was captured for posterity by R. Lechner (Wilhelm Muller). It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Austrian art but also provides insight into religious practices during that time period. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into history through its portrayal of an extraordinary artwork that continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation.
