EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Altar of the Apocalypse, created by the talented Master Bertram of Hamburg in the 14th century. The image captures a scene filled with mythical creatures and warriors engaged in an epic battle on horseback. In this particular section of the altar, we are drawn to horsemen mounted on majestic horses adorned with lion heads and tails resembling serpents. The artist's intricate attention to detail is evident as he masterfully depicts these fantastical beings, blending elements from different animal kingdoms into one extraordinary creature. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to the battlefield depicted here. Each warrior is armed with shields and weapons such as swords, ready for combat. Their determination can be felt through their poised stances and intense expressions. As we delve deeper into this artifact, it becomes apparent that it represents more than just a war scene; it symbolizes concepts like power, strength, and courage. It serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against adversity throughout history. This remarkable piece transports us back to the fourteenth century when art was not only about aesthetics but also conveyed profound messages. Its preservation allows us to appreciate Master Bertram's skillful craftsmanship while providing valuable insights into medieval warfare and artistic expression during that era.
