Description: The Enoch Altarpiece, 2003Set of Two Signed Limited Edition Giclee on Canvas, Framed Image Size: 14.5 X 24 in.Edition Size: 250 James Christensen 1942 - 2017 The Enoch Altarpiece is a framed, two-piece canvas print set. The resin-molded frames are distressed and hand-brushed with gold to recreate the look of a 15th century piece. This major piece from the church at Tongerlo is one of the Master’s most exquisite altarpieces, and the work for which he is best known. Commissioned by Cornelius van Leyden, the Master’s foremost patron, the altarpiece resided in the chapel until 1653, when it was removed and hidden during the Iconoclast Riots. When the political and religious atmosphere became more stable the altarpiece was removed from hiding to be returned to the church. It was only then it was discovered that the center panel, which featured the city of Enoch, had been taken, and sadly it remains lost to this day. The angels on the wings of the altarpiece bless the scene, and the symbols at their feet describe the divine plan. At the feet of the angel in the left panel are symbols of the Garden of Eden, a reminder of the Fall of Man. On the right, the items at the angel’s feet symbolize the triumph of Christ over death. ©2008 The Greenwich Workshop PressAll artwork ©2008 James C. Christensen Please see pics.
