High altar / Schwabach / first conversion

1503 1506


According to Oellermann, an older painter sketched out all the paintings of the outer pair of wings and began to execute them during John's sermon. A younger painter then painted these panels differently and completed the scenes with the sermon, partially overpainting and correcting them. The inner wings, on which the reliefs are fixed, were signed and painted by the younger painter alone. In the predella, a third force was at work, whereby the signature still showed similarities to that of the older painter. (Oellermann 1983, pp. 142 - 155.)
