A weekend to visit two new churches decorated by Albertus Pictor...
Lid church is one of the churches decorated by Albertus Pictor. It is located in the Södermanland county, close to Strängnäs, about one hour from Stockholm. The paintings are dating between 1460 and 1470. As for most of these churches, the first chuch that was built in the XIIIth century was expanded in the XVth century when the sacristy was added. The paintings were covered with lime in the XVIIIth century. They were rediscovered and restored in the 1870s'.
It seems that these paintings were probably the first master work of Albertus Pictor, explaining why he painted a self-portrait in the church.
