Written By Daniela Wedel

Art seminar by Daniela Wedel : Mathias Grünewald’s Isenheimer Altarpiece

In the debut of ART that LASTS lecture series, art historian and tour guide Daniela Wedel explores one of the most complex art pieces of the 16th century—Mathias Grünewald’s Isenheimer Altarpiece located in the Unterlinden Museum, Colmar. This late Gothic German oeuvre has been described as fantastically strange, exceptionally powerful, intriguing and at the same time cruelly repulsive.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Professional art historian insights on Mathias Grünewald’s Isenheimer Altarpiece
• Historical context of religious paintings of the 1500s
• Background on religious themes, symbolism, interpretations
