Wedding party under the Beheim choir of St. Lorenz

Wedding party under the Beheim choir of St. Lorenz

Wedding party under the Beheim choir of St. Lorenz

1879 (?)


A bridal couple—depicted in historicist attire from around 1600—enter the church from the sacristy and receive a blessing from the clergy by a gesture of remembrance. The scene is accompanied by a wedding party. Research has revealed that this painting—as was customary with almost all of Ritter's works—was exhibited at the Albrecht Dürer Society after its completion in July 1879. The oil painting, which still retains its original frame, is a very early work by Paul Ritter.

It was praised in the Fränkischer Kurier of July 14, 1879, as follows:

Even today, we are fortunate enough to mention a creation by this tireless and conscientious artist entitled "From St. Lorenz Church." With the archaeological accuracy and understanding of light and color that have long been characteristic of this artist, and with masterful perspective, we are presented with a view into the long halls of this architectural masterpiece, a view as rich in poetry and artistic charm as it is pleasantly and cheerfully enlivened by well-chosen details.
