Artist's Description
The Silver Altar at Stockholm Cathedral - Stockholm - Sweden
******************************
A fantastic piece of history and architecture, the Silver Altar in the Stockholm Cathedral (Stockholms domkyrka), is a triptych made of ebony and silver. The sculpted reliefs are in ascending order of the Last Supper on the predella, a relatively large depiction of the Crucifixion of Christ, between silver statues of Moses and John the Baptist in niches with small silver columns on either side; of the Burial of Christ (between silver statues of the evangelists Matthew and Mark; of Christ's Harrowing of Hell (between statues of the evangelists John and Luke; and on the pediment at top of the triptych, a silver statue of the Risen Christ between two reclining soldiers.
The altar was donated to the Cathedral in the 1650's by Councillor of the Realm Johan Adler Salvius and his wife. The central section was made in Germany and the doors in Stockholm.
