EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from the Altarpiece of Issenheim, showcasing the "Concert of Angels musician" in the Nativity scene. Painted by Matthias Grunewald between 1512 and 1516, this oil on panel masterpiece is housed in the Musee d Unterlinden in Colmar, France. The focal point of this image is an angel at the center, skillfully playing a gamba viola. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays every delicate curve and string of this musical instrument. The angel's serene expression exudes pure devotion as heavenly melodies fill the air. Grunewald's work exemplifies his mastery of Renaissance art with its rich colors and intricate brushwork. This particular panel showcases his deep understanding and appreciation for music within religious context. It beautifully depicts how angels contribute to the joyous celebration surrounding Christ's birth. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to sixteenth-century Germany, where religion played a significant role in society. Through his artistry, Grunewald brings biblical characters to life while simultaneously paying homage to German culture. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures all these elements through her lens, allowing us to appreciate not only Grunewald's genius but also her own talent as a photographer.
