The "Barbara altar from the Kalanti church" is a 15th-century altarpiece painted by Master Francke, a prominent artist of the late Gothic period in Finland. This panel depicts a scene from the life of Saint Barbara, a Christian martyr, and showcases the characteristic detailed and expressive style of Northern European art. The painting showcases the rich colors and gold leaf embellishment typical of the era, with the figures rendered with delicate lines and intricate patterns. The artwork, now housed in the National Museum of Finland, is a testament to the artistic talent and religious fervor of the era.
