EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image showcases the exterior panels of Hans Baldung Grien's High Altar of Freiburg im Breisgau, a masterpiece of Renaissance art created between 1512 and 1516 in Germany. The altar, which is housed in the city's magnificent cathedral, is a visual feast for the eyes, filled with intricate details and vibrant colors. The panels depict scenes from the Life of the Virgin, starting from the left with the Annunciation, where the angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and bear a son. Next is the Visitation, where Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. The third panel represents the Nativity, the moment when Jesus is born in a manger in Bethlehem. The final panel on the left shows the Flight into Egypt, where the Holy Family flees to Egypt to escape Herod's massacre of the innocents. Baldung Grien's masterful use of perspective, color, and detail bring these biblical stories to life, transporting the viewer back to the sacred moments in history. The exterior panels of the High Altar of Freiburg im Breisgau are a testament to Baldung Grien's artistic genius and the enduring power of Renaissance art.
