EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Grabow Altarpiece, titled "The Creation of the Animals". Painted between 1379 and 1383 by Master Bertram of Minden, this masterpiece is a testament to the artist's skill and creativity. In this particular section of the altarpiece, we witness an array of animals coming to life through divine intervention. The tempera on panel technique used by Master Bertram brings out every intricate detail with precision and depth. From majestic birds soaring in the sky to graceful fish swimming in crystal-clear waters, each creature is meticulously depicted. The composition also includes various mammals such as horses, bulls, deer, and even a bat. These creatures symbolize different aspects of nature's diversity and serve as a reminder of God's creative power. Among them stands an anthropomorphic figure representing God himself overseeing this miraculous act. Notably, a peacock and cockerel are prominently featured in this scene. These birds hold symbolic significance in religious iconography as representations of resurrection and vigilance respectively. Displayed at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its medieval Gothic charm. Its timeless beauty transcends centuries while offering us a glimpse into both artistic mastery and spiritual contemplation.
