1484
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Miracle at Seefeld is a 1484 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut shows a crowded scene with bright colors. At the center, a robed figure stands on a raised platform holding a cross. Below, people in red and blue robes gesture toward him. Above, three figures in halos look down from a golden background. The edges are framed by patterns and small decorative shapes. Notice how the artist used simple shapes and bold outlines to tell the story. The hand coloring adds warmth to the scene, making the figures stand out against the patterned background. Next, look up technique: woodcut to see how this printing method worked.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
