Events
Raphael Rooms
Raphael completes the Stanza della Segnatura commissioned by Pope Julius II in the Apostolic Palace in Rome . The determining themes of the room are the three highest principles of the human mind: the true, the good and the beautiful. These are shown in the four wall and vault frescoes, which have the Disputa del Sacramento , the School of Athens , the cardinal and divine virtues and the law as well as Parnassus as their subject. Theological truth finds its expression in the Disputa of the Most Holy Sacrament, which relates to the triumph of the Christian religion. In the Athens School , Raphael painted natural truth, philosophical reason, in the form of ancient philosophers in front of a Renaissance architecture. Raphael shows the good in the cardinal and godly virtues and the law as allegories of the cardinal virtues of bravery, prudence and temperance and the Christian virtues of faith, hope and love, which were painted on the bezels of the wall. In Parnassus , the muses subordinate to Apollo and ancient and modern poets complete the spiritual cosmos of this space. The vault summarizes in allegorical form man's abilities for philosophy, theology, poetry and justice.
The Heller Altar
Matthias Grünewald completes the Heller Altar started by Albrecht Dürer's workshop , a triptych commissioned by the patrician Jakob Heller for the Dominican Church in Frankfurt am Main . Heller entrusted Dürer, who works in Nuremberg , with the central panel, the inner wings and the first left and right outer wings . He left only four panels for the left and right second outer wing - although these, like the former, were to be made in the particularly difficult grisaille technique - to Grünewald , who was probably located in Aschaffenburg . At its final destination, the work is assembled.
