Engleorkesteret i Rynkeby kirke - Rynkeby, Denmark - Murals on Waymarking.com

I Rynkeby kirke på Østfyn finder man 32 smukke engle malet på loftet af det hardenbergske kapel, som udgør korarmen i nord. Der er adgang til kirken i dagtimerne. Respekter kirkelige handlinger.

Kapellet mod nord er opført i 1560 som gravplads for slægten Hardenberg til Skovsbo, der dog aldrig kom til at hvile her, hvilket 16 tomme skjolde til anevåben vidner om. Kirken er især interessant på grund af kalkmalerier, en enestående renæssanceudsmykning i kapellet. Kor og skib er senromanske, af oprindelig træk er et tilmuret vindue i skibets sydmur.

Den tronende Kristus-skikkelse, der er malet i østkappen er omgivet af de salige foroven og de opstandne døde forneden. På hver side ses seks apostle. Jesus løfter hænderne i velsignelse, og billedet (de tre andre kapper) er omgivet af et komplet orkester på i alt 31 engle, alt fremdraget i 1964.

Kirkens yderst velbevarede kalkmalerier fra ca. 1565, der illustrerer 31 musicerende engle på forskellige musikinstrumenter; bl.a. drejelire, nøgleharpe og sækkepiber - en enestående fremstilling af stor musikhistorisk interesse.

English: In Rynkeby church on Østfyn, you will find 32 beautiful angels painted on the ceiling of the Hardenberg chapel, which forms the choir arm in the north. There is access to the church during the day. Respect church actions.

The chapel to the north was built in 1560 as a burial place for the Hardenberg til Skovsbo ??family, who, however, never came to rest here, as 16 empty shields for arms bear witness to. The church is particularly interesting because of frescoes, a unique Renaissance decoration in the chapel. Choir and nave are late Romanesque, an original feature is a bricked-up window in the south wall of the nave.

The enthroned figure of Christ painted in the east mantle is surrounded by the blessed above and the risen dead below. On each side are seen six apostles. Jesus raises his hands in blessing, and the image (the other three robes) is surrounded by a full orchestra of a total of 31 angels, all brought out in 1964.

The church's extremely well-preserved frescoes from approx. 1565, illustrating 31 angels playing music on various musical instruments; Among other things, turning lyre, keyed harp and bagpipes - a unique production of great musical historical interest.
