This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of St John the Baptist, created around 1515 by the talented Master of the Harburger Altar. Crafted from partially polychromed limewood, this masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 152.1 centimeters, with dimensions of 49x30 cm. Housed in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this German artwork holds immense historical and religious significance. The statue depicts St John the Baptist, a revered figure in Christianity known for baptizing Jesus Christ himself. With meticulous attention to detail, the artist captures both his physical features and spiritual essence flawlessly. The saint is portrayed holding a lamb symbolizing Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away sins. This remarkable altarpiece carving emanates a sense of devotion and piety that would have resonated deeply within its original church setting. Its presence evokes contemplation on Christian teachings and serves as a reminder of humanity's redemption through faith. Originally located in Schloss Harburg in Swabia, Germany, this sculpture has now found its home thousands of miles away but continues to inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and profound message.
