EDITORS COMMENTS
Panel forty four of the Altar of the Apocalypse, created by Master Bertram of Hamburg in the 15th century, is a captivating depiction of mythical creatures and biblical symbolism. This stunning artwork, now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum, transports viewers to a world filled with mystery and intrigue. In this particular panel, we witness unclean spirits resembling frogs emerging from the mouths of three powerful figures: the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. The vibrant colors used by Master Bertram bring these supernatural beings to life as they burst forth from their hosts' mouths. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every scale on the dragon's body and every wrinkle on its face is meticulously rendered. The artist's skillful portrayal allows us to feel both awe and trepidation at these otherworldly creatures. As we stand before this ancient artifact, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with mythology throughout history. It serves as a testament to our enduring curiosity about fantastical beings that exist beyond our realm. The Altar of the Apocalypse stands not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a window into religious beliefs during medieval times. Its presence within the Victoria and Albert Museum ensures that future generations can appreciate its beauty while contemplating its profound spiritual significance.
