With the watercolor by Johann Adam Klein began a fondness for this motif, which various artists continued to feature in their works over the following decades. (see also: The Johannis Cemetery in Historical Views, 500 Years of St. Johannis Cemetery, Exhibition Catalog, Nuremberg, 2018)
The view focuses on the northeastern part of St. Johannis Cemetery with the Calvary group by Adam Kraft. Since 1902, it has been located in the so-called Crucifixion Courtyard of the Holy Spirit Hospital. The copy made at the cemetery by Georg Leistner was destroyed during World War II. Of the auxiliary figures that faced the crucifixion group, only Mary and John had remained by the middle of the 19th century; these were later placed under the crucified figures. The background is filled with the Johannis fields, the Lange Zeile as well as, on the right, the Tiergärtnertor Tower.
Adjoining this rises the Imperial Castle, with the Pentagonal Tower to its left, as well as the Luginsland tower, which was heightened by the City of Nuremberg in 1377. The image also features figures to add life to the scene.
