In 1514, German artist Matthias Grünewald painted the “Isenheim Altarpiece”. Which artists and traditions inspired his work?
The second part, ST. ANTHONY’S FIRE, is exclusively dedicated to Grünewald’s most famous work: “Isenheim Altarpiece”.

Tender Age, by Julien Gaspar-Oliveri
Sixteen-year-old Diane exists exclusively through her mother's gaze. But this intensely close bond between Diane and her mother, Sophie, is becoming increasingly problematic for the teenager. At high school, she would like to be loved like she is at home and expresses it in an awkward way like when she exchanges a favor for a look, in the toilets. A loudmouth, provocative, and seeking attention, Diane tries to stand apart from her mother and wishes, during a weekend, to live like an adult.
