Those horrible lesions, boils, and sores on the body of Christ could not be taken for granted. The 'Son of Man' have taken on himself the pain and suffering of those afflicted and being attended in St Anthony's Monastery-Hospital. Gruenewald expresses a unique and meticulous symbolism in his painting. The 'Tour' could not have been better. Thank you so much for taking us on a journey of awe, Ms. Bagdanov. Cheers
Very interesting video! What a remarkable painting. I loved that you shared other images of the transfiguration as a kind of comparison with other painters of the time. Thank you!
