Maiestas Domini 975

"Maiestas Domini" is a 10th-century illumination by the artist Ende depicting Christ enthroned in glory. The image is central to the composition and surrounded by four evangelists represented by their symbolic creatures, with angels in the upper corners. The work, characterized by stylized figures and bright colors, exemplifies the artistic style of the Ottonian Renaissance, a period of renewed artistic interest in the Holy Roman Empire. This manuscript illumination, with its prominent depiction of Christ, served as a powerful visual reminder of the divine presence in the world.
