Page from Stern des Meschiah 1477

This woodcut, a page from *Stern des Meschiah* (Star of the Messiah) dating back to 1477, depicts a scene of religious debate. The anonymous artist captures the intensity of the discussion through the expressive figures, highlighting the importance of faith and religious discourse in the Late Middle Ages. The detailed rendering of the figures’ clothing and the architectural backdrop add to the scene’s realism, inviting viewers to step into the world of 15th-century religious thought. This work, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a valuable testament to the artistic and intellectual currents of its time.
