Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Städler Museum, stitched pano of the Altenberg Altarpiece, ca 1330, wings by Rheinischer Meister, Madonna and Child by Kölner Meister.
#museum #art #mediaeval #photography

On a box pedestal against a wall, both painted deep green, an intricately carved and painted altarpiece in the form of a box with two doors opening to the side. The inside of the doors are brilliantly painted and gilded with scenes of people, angels, and beasts. The interior of the box contains a Madonna and Child, a statue fully in the round, gilded; framed by a carved "altar screen" device of gothic arches and traceries, gilded and painted. The whole is amazingly well preserved for something almost 700 years old.
