The altar, made of gold and enamel on gilded copper, is located at Klosterneuburg Monastery in Austria. The focal point of this particular detail is the depiction of the Queen of Sheba bringing gifts to King Solomon. This biblical scene from the Old Testament portrays her offering precious treasures to the wise king. The intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors bring life to this ancient story. Nicholas of Verdun's talent shines through in every brushstroke, as he captures both the opulence and spirituality inherent in religious art.
