Painted for a hospital of the Antonine order that treated ergotism, whose sufferers saw their own lesions on the body of Christ. Grünewald made no attempt to soften any of it, and the Baptist points at it with a finger painted far too long.Paul calls the cross a stumbling-block and foolishness, and this is the only painting that refuses to make it anything else.Musée Unterlinden, ColmarA former Dominican convent in Alsace, built around the Isenheim Altarpiece, which is displayed so that its panels can be read in sequence.Musée Unterlinden, Colmar

Overview & Insights

"For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified." (Hebrews 10:14)

Unlike priests who stand daily offering repeated sacrifices, Christ offered a single sacrifice for sins and sat down at God's right hand. Because the way into God's presence is now open through his blood, the writer urges believers to draw near in faith, hold fast their hope, and stir one another to love and good works.
