Church Saint-Jean-Baptiste

Centerpiece of the furniture of the parish church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Buhl, this pictorial masterpiece dates from the end of the 15th century. Attributed to the school of Martin Schongauer, the altarpiece contains all the techniques of early Renaissance works: outline of perspectives, engraved gold, shimmering colors, deep drapes and applied brocades. Typically Rhenish, its dimensions are impressive: 1.97 m high and 3.50 m long for the central room (in situation its wingspan reaches 7 m).
