EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lukas Paumgartner as Saint Eustace, depicted in the right panel of the Paumgartner Altarpiece. Created around 1500 by Albrecht Dürer, this masterpiece is a tempera on panel painting that can be found at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany. In this scene, St. Eustace proudly carries a banner that commemorates his vision of Christ appearing between the antlers of a majestic stag. What makes this artwork truly unique is that it is believed to be one of the earliest instances where an artist used the facial features of a donor to portray a saint. Stephan and Lukas commissioned this painting for the Church of Saint Catherine in Nuremberg, possibly after Stephan's safe return from his pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1498. The level of detail and craftsmanship displayed in this piece reflects both Dürer's exceptional talent and his ability to capture religious devotion during medieval times. The triptych format adds depth and dimensionality to the composition, while emphasizing St. Eustace as its central figure. This print not only captures an extraordinary work of art but also serves as a reminder of how patrons expressed their piety through commissioning religious paintings during the Middle Ages. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Dürer's skillful portrayal and delve into historical narratives surrounding faith, visions, and gratitude for safe returns from arduous journeys like pilgrimages.
