This photograph, taken by Joseph Maes in 1864, captures a pair of ivory diptychs depicting scenes from the New Testament. Originally located in the Sint-Martinskerk in Genoelselderen, these intricate carvings, likely dating back to before 1866, showcase the rich tradition of religious art during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The photograph's focus on the detailed carving and the depiction of biblical figures offers a glimpse into the devotional practices and artistic expressions of the period, providing valuable insights into the historical context of these works.
