Altar with open wings


Foundation of the Nuremberg merchant and innkeeper Stefan Gabler († 1529) and his second wife Sophia née Gärtner († 1557). On December 3, 1522, the executor of the will of the painter Hans von Kulmbach acknowledged receipt of the outstanding 10 fl. to Stefan Gabler as payment for a painted panel, which could refer to the Schwabach altar. The Gabler family had already had a connection to the Mary altar in the Schwabach parish church for several generations. In 1444, one of Stefan Gabler's ancestors, Elisabeth, widow of Heinrich Gabler, made the funds available in her will for a preaching benefice with chaplaincy at the Our Lady altar.

The figure of Mary on the crescent moon is dated around 1475. On October 2, 1521, a dispute between Stefan Gabler and the painter Leonhard Schürstab was decided in such a way that the painter's demand for 53 guilders for the painting of an (altar) panel was granted. It is possible that Gabler also commissioned to paint the Schwabach altarpiece and the figure of the Virgin Mary.

Foundation of the Nuremberg merchant and innkeeper Stefan Gabler († 1529) and his second wife Sophia née Gärtner († 1557). On December 3, 1522, the executor of the will of the painter Hans von Kulmbach acknowledged receipt of the outstanding 10 fl. to Stefan Gabler as payment for a painted panel, which could refer to the Schwabach altar. The Gabler family had already had a connection to the Mary altar in the Schwabach parish church for several generations. In 1444, one of Stefan Gabler's ancestors, Elisabeth, widow of Heinrich Gabler, made the funds available in her will for a preaching benefice with chaplaincy at the Our Lady altar.

The figure of Mary on the crescent moon is dated around 1475. On October 2, 1521, a dispute between Stefan Gabler and the painter Leonhard Schürstab was decided in such a way that the painter's demand for 53 guilders for the painting of an (altar) panel was granted. It is possible that Gabler also commissioned to paint the Schwabach altarpiece and the figure of the Virgin Mary.
