Description |
Deutsch: Die Königin von Saba vor König Salomon von der Innenseite des Heilsspiegelaltars, um 1435-1440. Nadelholz. Ursprünglich war die Tafel Teil eines riesigen Retabels für den Hochaltar eine Basler Kirche. Sie zeigt die für Witz typischen gedrungenen Figuren, die aus plastischen, oft wuchtig wirkenden Formen zusammengesetzt sind. Die mitunter wie geschnitzt wirkenden Gesichter und sprechenden Hände verleihen ihnen Lebendigkeit. Zugleich glänzt der Maler mit einer pointierten Schilderung von Materialität, wie hier bei den Edelsteinen auf dem Samthut Salomons oder den changierenden Grüntönen seines Gewandes.
English: The Queen of Sheba in front of King Solomon from the inside of the salvation mirror altar, around 1435-1440. Coniferous wood. Originally, the tablet was part of a huge reredos for the high altar of a Basel church. It shows the compact figures typical of Witz, which are composed of plastic, often massive shapes. The sometimes carved-looking faces and speaking hands give them liveliness. At the same time, the painter shines with a pointed description of materiality, as here with the precious stones on Salomon's velvet hat or the iridescent green tones of his robe. |
