Description
The iconography of the inner side of the altarpiece, displayed only on feast days, begins on the left wing with the Adoration of the Magi. The wise men and their entourage have hurried to Bethlehem to worship the child. Mary, the infant and Joseph are awaiting them at the gate of a ruined palace, where a roof covered with straw provides makeshift protection. The Romanesque architecture of the ruined, greyish walls testifies to the decline of a previous age that is now doomed. Thus, the ruin symbolises the era of the Law of Moses, which came to an end with the advent of Christ. According to legend, Christ was born in the ruins of David’s palace in Bethlehem, a reference to their shared lineage. The adoration of the newborn king, Jesus Christ, at the site of David’s rule represents not only the overcoming of the Old Testament but also the promise of the New Testament. The general theme of the altarpiece is the worship of Christ, which has its climax in the Crucifixion on the centre panel of the altarpiece.
