EDITORS COMMENTS
"This exquisite watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paper tabernacle design by Cornelius Christoffels, created around 1938, showcases the artist's exceptional talent for blending natural and religious elements. The tabernacle, an essential piece of ecclesiastical furniture used in Christian liturgy to house the consecrated Eucharistic elements, is depicted here as a harmonious fusion of a natural arch and an ornate, floral-decorated structure. The geographical feature of a natural arch, a common motif in Christoffels' work, serves as the base for this intricately designed tabernacle. The arch, with its soft, flowing lines and gentle curves, creates a sense of tranquility and stability, while the vibrant, colorful floral patterns adorning the tabernacle add a touch of elegance and spirituality. The tabernacle's design is a testament to the artist's keen eye for detail and his ability to bring together seemingly disparate elements in a cohesive and visually stunning way. The use of watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paper further enhances the piece's textured and layered appearance, adding depth and dimension to the intricate patterns and designs. This tabernacle design by Cornelius Christoffels is a beautiful example of American art from the 1930s and 1940s, and is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. Its unique blend of natural and religious themes, as well as its intricate design and exceptional craftsmanship, make it a standout piece of heritage art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers to this day." Location: National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., USA. Index of American Design, 1942.
