Krátky popis
Find out about the tallest Gothic winged altar in the world! The
Basilica of St. James in Levoča features a unique work of art: the
tallest late-Gothic winged altar in the world (18.62 metres tall).
It was created by master-woodcarver Pavol of Levoča (born around
1460, died between 1537 - 1542), one of the few medieval artists
working in this region who are known by name. He was commissioned
to work on a new high altar sometime after 1500, probably at the
bidding of local nobleman Ján Thurzo. Creating this altar required
several years of preparation and wood-carving work, not only by
Master Pavol himself but involving all the craftsmen in his
workshop as well. The altar was completed in 1508; it was the
largest in central Europe at that time, and its retable (the
vertical altarpiece) remains to this day one of the greatest
artworks of its kind in Europe north of the Alps. This guide to
Master Pavol and his high altar will familiarize you with the life
of Master Pavol himself, the background to the creation of the
famous Levoča altar and the atmosphere of the period in which this
important religious artwork was made, and it also presents a
detailed interpretation of the altar's features. Another equally
worthwhile part of the guide is its extraordinary pictorial
content: a unique collection of photographs by world-famous Czech
photographer Jan William Drnek. Translated from the Slovak original
by Andrew Billingham.
