Darmstadt Altarpiece: Constantine and His Mother Helena Venerating the True Cross
This anonymous German painter around 1460 made altarpieces full of bright reds and blues, stiff figures, and tiny gold highlights. In the *Darmstadt Altarpiece: Virgin and Child Enthroned* the Virgin sits stiffly on a jewelled throne while the Christ Child raises a blessing hand. Nearby, *The Adoration of the Magi* packs three kneeling kings, a nervous-looking horse, and a Madonna swathed in deep blue. Look closer—each fold of fabric catches the light. Tap the *Darmstadt Altarpiece: The Epiphany* to see how the artist lined up every crown and candle for drama.
