The Annunciation; Virgin and Child with Angels; The Resurrection (2nd face with open wings) 1515

Matthias Grünewald's "The Annunciation; Virgin and Child with Angels; The Resurrection (2nd face with open wings)" is a complex altarpiece painted in 1515. Comprised of multiple panels, it depicts key moments in the life of Christ. The central panel portrays the Virgin Mary holding the Christ child, surrounded by angels playing music. On the left, the Annunciation unfolds, with an angel announcing Mary's future motherhood. The right panel shows the powerful image of the resurrected Christ, his radiance emanating from the sky. This intricate piece, now housed in the Musée Unterlinden in Colmar, France, is considered a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art, known for its intense emotionality, vivid colors, and realistic detail.
