Angels Served at a Table, illustration from Speculum Passionis, 1507 1507

This woodcut, "Angels Served at a Table," is an illustration from the "Speculum Passionis" (Mirror of the Passion) by Hans Baldung, a German artist who was active in the early 16th century. The image portrays a scene of three angels, each with large wings, serving food to a bearded figure, possibly a saint or a priest. The central angel holds a platter with food, while the figure on the right appears to be receiving the meal. The ornate border surrounding the scene adds to the richness and detail of the illustration. The artwork is a prime example of the detailed and expressive illustrations often found in early printed books, reflecting the artistic and devotional sensibilities of the time.
