Uta von Ballenstedt, donor figure in the Naumburg Cathedral, mid 13th century [2000x3000]

[Uta von Ballenstedt (c. 1000 — 23 October before 1046), a member of the House of Ascania, was Margravine of Meissen from 1038 until 1046, the wife of Margrave Eckard II. She is also called Uta of Naumburg as the subject of a famous donor portrait by the Naumburg Master.] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uta_von_Ballenstedt)

Beautiful details! I came to say she reminded me of someone, and a quick Wiki read told me exactly who that was: The Evil Queen from Snow White!

I remember her and her husband ever since I saw them in my 6th grade history book. Just a little disappointed now to learn that it was not done from life.

I find it interesting that she is wearing a crown.

There really should be an effort to fully document and 3D scan every single artifact and art piece and painting in all of Europe, because regardless of whether you want to ignore it or not, there is a huge conflict coming in Europe after having imported all the savages for decades, who have zero interest in being civilized and share absolutely zero interest in preserving others' cultures and artifacts and religion. We watched the muslims tear down the huge buddhist statues in Afghanistan in 2000 prior to muslims flying planes into the twin towers on 9/11 and all the subsequent attacks on the west by muslims since; will it really take another loss on the scale of the burning of the Library of Alexandria for the "educated" idiot class to realize the foolishness of their delusion?

What happens when muslims launch RPGs into Notre Dame or the Sacré Cœur or Strasbourg Cathedral? Or what happens when they go on a typical musilm suicide mission to gain entry with weapons and blow themselves up in the Louvre ... the British Museum????

The best hope we have to counter the mass delusion and metal illness of the secular west is to document and capture every single aspect of ever artifact in order to at least recreate a facsimile once (not if) the originals are destroyed, especially in a world where the artisans and craftsman that could manually recreate the pieces by hand simply don't exist to any notable degree anymore.

We have a Seed Bank... no one has thought about an art and culture bank to preserve the art and culture of the western, white, European diverse cultures from the derangement and raving lunacy of liberals that are importing savages en mass, who are already starting to burn and shoot up and stab and destroy.

Or we don't preserve western, white diverse cultures and when, e.g, this piece is lost due to the raging manic lunacy of liberals after almost 800 years, it won't matter anymore because the purge will commence to rut out the mentally deranged and sick liberals too.
