Summary
editDescriptionThe Ancient Doors 04.jpg |
English: Made of Cypress wood and dating from between AD 420 and 450. About 10 of the original 28 panels are missing, but any wooden object from this period is a rare sight. In one of the panels with scenes from the life of Moses, God the Father is depicted as a hand extended from a cloud, the earliest way of representing Him in Christian art. The crucifixion scene in the top left-hand panel may be the earliest preserved representation of Christ crucified between two thieves in Western art.
The panels are recognisably the work of two artists working together. The decorative surrounding of vines and bunches of grapes is a later addition though. There was a restoration in 1836 which led to the panels being arranged in the wrong order. The restorer allegedly re-carved the face of the drowning Pharaoh to represent Napoleon. The eighteen surviving panels have the following representations, left to right and top to bottom: Crucifixion. The Women at the Empty Tomb after the Resurrection. Adoration of the Magi. Christ with Peter and Paul, holding the Pearl of Great Price. Christ raising Lazarus, multiplying loaves and turning water into wine. Moses in the Desert, the Quails, the Manna and Moses striking the rock to produce water. Ascension of Christ. Second Coming or Triumph of Christ (meaning uncertain). Christ appears to his disciples after the Resurrection. Christ appears to the women after the Resurrection. Christ predicting Peter's denial. Prophet Habakkuk and the angel taking him to feed those in the lion's den. Moses receiving the Law, removing his sandals, at the Burning Bush and with the sheep. Acclamation of an important person (uncertain meaning). Exodus of Israelites with pillar of fire, Pharaoh drowning in the Red Sea and Aaron's rod turning into a snake. Elijah ascending into heaven and Elisha catching his cloak. Pilate washing his hands. Christ before Caiaphas. |
