An anonymous work from the early 15th century, based on the 1317 donation of the relics of Saint Deocarus by Emperor Louis the Bavarian. Deocarus (also called Theutgar and Dietkar) was a hermit who came to the court of Charlemagne as a disciple of Alcuin, becoming his confessor. He founded the Benedictine monastery of Hasenried-Herrieden in 795. Deocarus was considered a helper in cases of eye ailments. The altarpiece was commissioned by Andreas and Margarethe Volckamer. It is a winged altarpiece with carved figures in a two-tiered shrine on a painted, hinged predella. The side panels of the predella and shrine are also painted. Neither the painter nor the carver is known. The work was completed before 1437. It exhibits high quality for its time. Dr. Pablo de la Riestra / November 2014 About the donors: Andreas Volckamer (d. 1437) married Margaretha (d. 1436), daughter of Georg Haller, in 1391. From 1406 to 1434, as city architect, he directed and supervised the city's building projects, including the restoration of the town hall in 1423/24. In 1436/37, he and his wife Margaretha donated the Deocarus altar in St. Lorenz Church and a silver shrine for the saint's relics. The latter was sold for 251 florins and melted down in 1811. In 1436, he donated the Othgar Chapel (Deocarus Chapel) above the sacristy in the Carthusian monastery.Feedback geben
