Altar Bartolome Beaux Ca Na Feast Flemings Flemish Laeken Master Museums Paintings Royaux
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century wood panel painting, known as the San Bartolome Altar, is a masterpiece of Flemish art from the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, specifically from the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen in France, where it is currently housed (Mary Evans Ref: X9973). The altar, attributed to the Master of San Bartolome, showcases the intricacies of Flemish oil painting during the Renaissance period. The central focus of the composition is the Feast of St. Bartholomew, depicted in grandeur with the saint flanked by various biblical figures, including the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist. The richly dressed figures, set against a backdrop of lush landscapes and architectural details, are rendered with exceptional skill and detail. The vibrant colors and textures of the clothing and the intricate patterns of the fabrics are a testament to the artist's mastery of the medium. The altar's ornate frame, adorned with intricate carvings and gilded decorations, further enhances the overall grandeur of the piece. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the painting, creating a sense of three-dimensionality. The San Bartolome Altar is a prime example of the artistic achievements of the Flemish School during the 16th century. Its intricate details, rich colors, and masterful use of oil painting techniques make it a valuable addition to any collection of Renaissance art. The painting's historical significance, as well as its aesthetic beauty, make it a must-see for art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
