Bernhard Strigel’s fresco, *Sacrifice of Isaac, and Transfiguration*, painted in 1510, is a notable example of Renaissance art in Southern Germany. The artwork depicts two biblical scenes: the sacrifice of Isaac by his father Abraham and the transfiguration of Jesus. These scenes are set within a geometric framework of intersecting lines and diagonals, a common feature of Renaissance art. The figures are depicted in a realistic style, with expressive gestures and dynamic poses. The use of vibrant colors and detailed ornamentation adds a sense of depth and richness to the composition. The fresco is a testament to Strigel’s skill as an artist and his mastery of the artistic conventions of the time.
