EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Konrad Witz, titled "Virgin and Child, Fragment of the altar of Olsberg, so-called Madonna of Olsberg". Created between 1437-40 during the late Gothic period, this mixed technique on wood masterpiece measures 64.5 x 51.5 cm and is housed in the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. Part of a triptych for the Cistercian monastery Olsberg near Rheinfelden, this fragment represents the central wing. The artist's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every detail - from the gilded panel to the delicate crown adorning Virgin Mary's head. Witz skillfully captures a tender moment between mother and child as they gaze lovingly at each other. The baby Jesus rests peacefully in his mother's arms while she radiates serenity and devotion. This religious scene holds deep biblical significance within Christian iconography. The wooden surface laminated with canvas adds an intriguing texture to this Northern Renaissance artwork. Its medieval charm transports viewers back to a time when faith played an integral role in people's lives. As we admire this German altarpiece painting, it serves as a reminder of both artistic mastery and spiritual devotion that prevailed during that era. It stands as a testament to Witz's talent for capturing profound emotions through his brushstrokes – making it an invaluable treasure within art history.
