Detail of Saint Thomas Altarpiece
In 1974 Equatorial Guinea issued two souvenir sheets for easter. Today I’ll be showcasing the first sheet, tomorrow the other one. The first value is showing a detail of Saint Thomas Altarpiece located in Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne.
It was painted by an early Netherlandish painter (known as Master of the Saint Bartholomew Altarpiece) active in Germany between 1475/1480 and 1510. Despite his anonymity, he is one of the most recognizable artists of the early Renaissance period in German art.
