Lamentation of Christ

um 1620

Simultaneous representation of the suffering, death and burial of Christ


The plaque that is now in St. Sebald is vaguely attributed to the Nuremberg artist Georg Gärtner the Elder. Attributed to J. (1577–1654)1. It was probably created in 1620 as a replacement for the original Holzschuher Lamentation, which was then sold to the Nuremberg merchant Martin Peller. (...) In a manuscript by Wilhelm Kress von Kressenstein (1625), first published in 1877, it is mentioned that a copy was made "in 1622" when Holzschuher's Lamentation was sold to Martin Peller 2. (...) _______________________ 1 See Fedja Anzelewsky: Albrecht Dürer. The painterly work.
