The richly carved altar triptych is from 1586.
The imposing red brick church is one of the three Møn churches
decorated with frescos by the Elmelunde Master, probably towards
the end of the 15th century. In the so-called Biblia pauperum style,
they present many of the most popular stories from the Old
and New Testaments

Intressant! Här http://mirasmirakel.blogspot.se/2010/09/aterbesok-hos-herr-pictor.html kan du se hur Albertus Pictor (Albert Målare) använde sig av samma förlaga, Biblia Pauperum) till sina målningar i en svensk kyrka. Så mycket ljusare de danska målningarna är. Kanske säger det något om våra olika sinnelag???
Kære Mira! Tak for linket...jeg synes det var så spændende, at se dine skønne billeder...ja, de er mørkere (mere brunt og grønt)...men jeg har altid tænkt danskere som mere alvorlige og "tungere" end svenskerne :O) Når jeg står og kigger på kalkmalerierne, smiler jeg gang på gang: åh, som jeg elsker Evas bryster som står lige ud i luften...og slangen i Paradis, som både i Sverige og Danmark er personificeret som en mand....men jeg er lidt misundelig på jeres Død der spiller skak...herligt!
