EDITORS COMMENTS
The Perussis Altarpiece, created in 1480 by an unknown artist from the Circle of Nicolas Froment, is a stunning example of early Renaissance art. This oil and gold on wood masterpiece measures 138.4x58.4 cm and can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Commissioned by Aloisius Rudolphe de Perussis, whose family coat of arms adorns the side panels, this altarpiece depicts scenes from Christian biblical stories with intricate detail and devotion. In the central panel, we witness the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at Golgotha, surrounded by angels and saints. The background reveals Avignon, where the Perussis family sought refuge after being exiled from Florence by Cosimo de Medici. The cityscape adds depth to this religious artwork while symbolizing their journey and resilience. One intriguing aspect is that one of the kneeling figures presented alongside John the Baptist and Saint Francis may represent a member of the Perussis family themselves. This personal touch further enhances our understanding of their deep connection to faith during challenging times. With its gilded accents and meticulous craftsmanship, this triptych altarpiece serves as a powerful tool for worshipers to connect with Christianity's teachings through visual storytelling. It stands as a testament to both French artistry during that period and enduring religious devotion.
