EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating and intricately detailed tempera on paper painting by the renowned Swiss artist Urs Graf, dates back to the early 16th century, approximately between 1513 and 1515. This masterpiece is currently housed in the esteemed Art Museum Basel collection in Switzerland. Graf's "The Wild Army" is an allegorical representation of biblical and mythological figures, drawn from both the Old and New Testaments. The painting's central theme revolves around the idea of the triumph of good over evil, as depicted through a diverse array of characters. At the heart of the composition lies a majestic Christ figure, surrounded by a wild and chaotic army of angels, saints, and mythological creatures. These beings, both divine and fantastical, are engaged in a fierce battle against a horde of demonic figures, representing the forces of darkness. The painting's rich symbolism is drawn from various sources, including the Bible and classical mythology. For instance, the figure of St. George, a popular saint in medieval Europe, is depicted slaying a dragon, symbolizing the victory of faith over fear. Other figures, such as Hercules, represent the triumph of human strength and determination. Urs Graf's mastery of the tempera technique is evident in the intricate details and vibrant colors of "The Wild Army." The artist's ability to bring together a diverse cast of characters from different mythological and religious traditions, and to imbue them with a sense of dynamic energy and movement, is a testament to his artistic skill and vision. This painting is a prime example of the artistic achievements of the Renaissance period in Switzerland and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of allegory and mythology in art. The Art Museum Basel is fortunate to possess such a significant work, which continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
