EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "The Treasure Box or Shrine of the True Riches of Salvation and Eternal Blessedness," is a remarkable work of art created in the late 15th century by the collaborative efforts of Stephan Fridolin, Michael Wolgemut, and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. This masterpiece, housed in numerous art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a bound volume consisting of 96 full-page hand-coloured woodcuts, derived from 91 blocks. The intricately detailed illustrations depict various scenes from Christian literature, including the lives of saints, martyrdoms, and scenes of prayer. The figures, both male and female, are shown in various postures, from kneeling in prayer to holding weapons in preparation for martyrdom. The martyrs, often depicted with a blade or other weapon, are shown in the midst of their deaths, highlighting the concept of sacrifice for one's faith. The armour-clad men and women are shown in interiors, both indoors and outdoors, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the time. The woodcuts are not only visually stunning but also serve as a historical record of the era. The bound volume, with its richly coloured illustrations, is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the fifteenth century. The Treasure Box or Shrine of the True Riches of Salvation and Eternal Blessedness is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or religion. The depictions of the martyrs and their stories serve as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. This artwork is a true treasure, not only for its historical significance but also for its aesthetic beauty.
