EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Five Wise Virgins" jamb figures from the Paradise Portal, carved around 1250 and situated on the porch built approximately a century later at the Dom of St. Mauritius and St. Katharina in Magdeburg, Germany. The German School's intricate craftsmanship is evident in these Gothic-style figures that have withstood the test of time. Depicting five female figures, each holding an oil lantern, this artwork represents the parable of the wise virgins who were prepared for their encounter with God. The attention to detail in their facial expressions and flowing garments adds depth and realism to these stone sculptures. Located on the north portal of this magnificent cathedral, these jamb figures are just one example of the architectural wonders found within its walls. Built during the 13th century, this cathedral is a testament to German Gothic architecture. Paul Maeyaert's expert photography captures not only the beauty but also highlights every intricate detail present in these jamb figures. This print serves as a reminder of both artistic mastery and religious symbolism that has been preserved throughout history. With its rich historical significance and stunning visual appeal, this image invites viewers to appreciate both artistry and spirituality intertwined within German medieval architecture at its finest.
