EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating view of a side altar at Ettal Monastery in Upper Bavaria, Germany, showcases the intricate beauty and rich history of this renowned Benedictine abbey. Founded in 1330, the monastery underwent its initial construction phase between 1330 and 1370, with further additions during the 18th and 19th centuries. This classical, Romanesque and Baroque architectural masterpiece is a testament to the enduring influence of Catholicism in Germany. The side altar, adorned with pink hues and gilded ornamentation, is a stunning example of the Rococo style that flourished during the 18th century. The pilasters, adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures, frame the altar, drawing the eye to the central focus: a painting of saints. The altar's white background, accented by gold detailing, creates a striking contrast that highlights the vibrant colors of the painting. Ettal Monastery's side altar is a beautiful reminder of the monastery's rich history and the enduring influence of religion on European architecture. This photograph, taken in 2010 by Hubertus Kanus, offers a glimpse into the intricacies and splendor of this Bavarian treasure. The monastery, with its pink, 18th-century façade and 19th-century additions, stands as a testament to the classical and neo-classical architectural styles that have shaped the region's religious buildings for centuries. The side altar, with its ornate pilasters and gilt detailing, is a masterpiece of the Baroque and Rococo periods, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and devotion of the monks who built it.
