Dronninglund Kirke (Sæby-workshop)

Elmelunde (Master of Elmelunde)

Elmelunde | Elmelunde kirke is probably the oldest church on the island of Møn. The original brickwork can be seen around the door in the northern wall, where the whitewash has been removed.

Elmelunde | The renowned artist or group of artists, known as the Master of Elmelunde decorated the vaults probably directly after they were built, around 1460

Elmelunde | Adam, ploughing a field, is a mixture of a biblical story and everyday life from the late mediëval period

Elmelunde | A lion

Elmelunde | Judgement-day and the righteous are entering Heaven (depicted as a church)

Mårslet

Mårslet | The church has a Romanesque choir and nave with a late Gothic tower to the west. The Romanesque section is in granite ashlars

Mårslet | The paintings itself are divided into three parts: a top decorative frieze, then the main middle part with a number of motifs and third a bottom frieze with different pictures.

Mårslet | Detail of the frieze (top section) on the 'left' panel, showing a three-dimensional key pattern border

Mårslet | The middle section of the 'left' panel probably shows the wedding at Cana, where Jesus (with a halo to the left) sits at a table, sided by his mother Mary. Then follows an embracing couple (the newly-weds) and a man drinking wine which may have been water, earlier that evening

Skivholme | The romanesque church of Skivholme near Arhus, built from 1050 - 1250, holds an unexpected treat. Paintings include decorations and portraials of biblical stories.
