Painting Description
"The Departure of Saint Florian" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Altdorfer, celebrated for his contributions to landscape painting and his involvement in the Danube school. This particular painting, while less documented than some of his other works like "The Battle of Alexander at Issus," is an example of Altdorfer's religious art, which often featured saints and biblical scenes set against intricate and expressive landscapes.
The painting is believed to depict the moment when Saint Florian, a Christian holy figure and the patron saint of Linz, Austria, as well as of firefighters, is leaving his town to face martyrdom. Florian, a Roman army officer, was sentenced to death for his Christian beliefs during the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire. Altdorfer's representation of this scene is consistent with his style, which is characterized by a rich use of color and a deep appreciation for the natural world.
In "The Departure of Saint Florian," Altdorfer's attention to detail in the landscape elements serves as a backdrop that both contrasts and emphasizes the saint's solemn journey. The painting's date of creation is not precisely known, but it is typically placed in the early 16th century, a period when Altdorfer was actively producing a significant body of work that included both altarpieces and smaller devotional images.
The artwork's current location or ownership status is not well-documented in public art historical records, which may limit the availability of scholarly analysis and interpretation. However, "The Departure of Saint Florian" remains an important piece within Altdorfer's oeuvre, illustrating the artist's skill in blending religious narrative with the natural environment, a hallmark of his enduring legacy in the history of art.
