St Augustine with book and -- get a load of this! -- a stylus! From Felka, in modern day Slovenia, altarpiece ca 1480. From the wonderful Hungarian National Gallery which has a gigantic collection of winged altarpieces. Gigantic. Hours and hours of fun! #scribe #medieval #art #altarpieces #Budapest #HungarianNationalGallery

During the Renaissance (1400-1600) just about any artist of worth found themselves commissioned at some point in their careers to produce an altarpiece. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1889/renaissance-altarpieces/ #History #Altarpieces #ChristianArt #Renaissance
