Transfiguration c. 15th century

Editor: This woodcut, titled "Transfiguration" by an anonymous artist, shows a very dramatic scene. I’m curious about the composition—it feels very formal and symbolic. What do you see in this piece that I might be missing? Curator: Oh, it's a visual sermon, isn't it? The stark lines give it a raw, almost urgent feel. It’s like the artist is shouting, “Look! Witness!” The limited perspective heightens the sense of awe, don’t you think? It pulls us directly into the disciples' experience. Editor: Absolutely, that makes a lot of sense. I appreciate the effect that has. Curator: It reminds us that faith isn't a spectator sport, it's about being right there in the thick of it. It’s wonderful how art can keep those old lessons alive.
