EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from Matthias Grunewald's iconic Isenheim Altarpiece, specifically the Temptation of Saint Anthony. Painted between 1512 and 1516, this oil on panel masterpiece stands at an impressive size of 265x139 cm and is housed in the Musee d'Unterlinden in Colmar, France. The focal point of this particular detail lies within an inscription that reads "Ubi eras Ihesu bone. . " which translates to "Where were you, sweet Jesus. . . ". These words are a desperate plea from Saint Anthony himself, questioning why Jesus did not come to heal his wounds. The presence of God the Father can be seen responding to this call from the skies above. Grunewald's attention to detail is truly remarkable as he skillfully portrays Saint Anthony's anguish and vulnerability through his masterful brushwork. This section of the altarpiece showcases Grunewald's ability to convey deep emotion and spiritual turmoil through art. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time, immersed in the profound religious narrative depicted by Grunewald. It serves as a poignant reminder of our own struggles with faith and our yearning for divine intervention during times of hardship. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this significant moment from art history, allowing us to appreciate its intricacies and contemplate its timeless message.
