1485
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Marriage of the Virgin is a 1485 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows three people standing inside a simple wooden room. The person in the middle wears a tall blue hat and a striped robe, holding hands with the others. The person on the left has long hair and a pale dress, while the one on the right wears a robe and a halo. The walls are plain wood, and the floor has a greenish rug. The central figure’s blue hat and halo on the man suggest this is a religious scene. The style looks old, with flat colors and sharp lines. Next, check out how this was made using the technique: woodcut.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
