THE EPOCH TIMES
By Susan James

Unterlinden Museum was formerly a Dominican convent. (Susan James)

FRANCE---Colmar is a small town in Alsace near the border of France and Germany, but in the world of art, it has a very large footprint. On permanent exhibition in a former 13th-century Dominican convent, now the Unterlinden Museum, is the Isenheim altarpiece. This 16th century masterwork is by German Renaissance artist Matthias Gothart Nithart (called Grünewald). [link]
