EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable retable from the 14th century, depicting the Crucifixion with Eight Saints. Created by the English School, this masterpiece is crafted using tempera and gold leaf on panel. The retable is housed in St. Mary's Church, Thornham Parva, near Diss, Suffolk in the UK. Considered to be the largest and most complete medieval altarpiece in Britain, this stunning artwork is believed to have originated from the Dominican Priory at Thetford. The composition of saints displayed from left to right includes St. Dominic, St. Catherine, St. John the Baptist, St. Paul, a rood group featuring the Blessed Virgin Mary alongside Christ and St. John, as well as St. Peter Martyr and other figures such as Edmund and Margaret. Interestingly enough, part of this extraordinary altar piece can also be found at Musee de Cluny in Paris. Its intricate details are truly awe-inspiring; every brushstroke tells a story of devotion and religious symbolism. The photograph captures not only the beauty of this historical artwork but also provides a glimpse into its surroundings within an interior adorned with Norman architecture and set against a charming thatched church roof. Thanks to Fine Art Finder's collaboration with www. bridgemanimages. com we can now appreciate this exquisite image that transports us back in time to witness both artistic mastery and spiritual significance intertwined within one magnificent work of art.
