The Rofeno Abbey Poliptych, created by Ambrogio Lorenzetti between 1330 and 1335, is a breathtaking masterpiece that captures the essence of Gothic art. This print showcases the intricate details and profound symbolism embedded within this religious painting. At first glance, one is immediately drawn to the central figure of Jesus Christ, surrounded by saints and apostles. The artist's skillful use of tempera on panel brings these holy figures to life, evoking a sense of awe and reverence. The composition beautifully depicts scenes from both the Old Testament and New Testament, illustrating biblical stories with remarkable precision. Amongst the array of saints depicted in this poliptych are Saint Michael, Saint Benedict, Saint Bartholomew, and Saint John the Evangelist.
