A crowd kneels before a golden altar lit by flickering candles. The robes are deep reds and blues, the faces shadowed under hoods. One man in black holds a book, others raise hands in prayer. This is Flemish art from around 1500. The gold leaf glows against dark backgrounds. Tiny details show each person’s emotion—no two faces look the same. Look up the Museum of Ethnography to see more early religious art.
