AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The woodcut illustrates the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, associated with the Purification feast of Mary, called Candlemas.
The Child, with a radiant halo, is depicted at the center of the scene near the altar, surrounded by Mary, Joseph and the figures participating in the ceremony.
The environment features architecture, draperies, and rich details in the clothing, in keeping with German Renaissance taste.
The lively contemporaneous coloring, hand-applied in ochre, red, green, and blue tones, enhances the figures and the depth of the setting.
Below the image, a large ornate initial introduces the passage from the Gospel of Luke, chapter two.
On the verso the gospel text and the religious commentary continue, preceded by a Latin quotation.
Text in German, in Gothic type, with Latin quotations».
Sheet 310x205 mm
Paper with yellowing, browning and scattered stains. Irregular margins with small tears and losses, especially along the upper edge; some small marginal holes. Manuscript annotations on the back and slight traces of folding.
The figurative part is substantially intact, well legible and with colors still vivid.
