Herrenberg Altarpiece 1520

The Herrenberg Altarpiece, created by Jerg Ratgeb in 1520, is a striking example of German Renaissance painting. The altarpiece features a triptych format, with two hinged panels on each side of a central panel. The artwork depicts biblical scenes, demonstrating a blend of religious imagery with the artist's unique artistic vision. Ratgeb's work often featured elongated figures and dramatic landscapes, adding a distinctive Gothic influence to the Renaissance style. The altarpiece, though sadly without a known location today, is a testament to Ratgeb's skill and his contribution to the artistic development of his time.
