This is my entry for the current contest. I put together this collage with two panels from a church in Wisconsin built in 1889. The panel on the right is original from when the church was built and the left panel is a newer (circa. 1920) replacement for one of the old ones. The quality of the workmanship in the old one is far superior in all ways. It even has the original silver molding with gold leaf. As an antiques dealer, the older one has more appeal for me.

The newer has the figures in freer form, the older more true to life. Beautiful presentation and contrast, and I wish you the best in the contest!

Because of the details, the right one is superior to the left one, Kathy.

A very fine collage however, that meets perfectly the current contest topic.

Good Luck with it, my friend!

Wonderful entry, yes, I agree the original entry is superior. Truly hope that somewhere the workmanship of the past is still being made. Best of luck in the contest.

There is something about the work of the old master's that can not easily be replicated today. Great one for the contest, and good luck!
