Overall view
The work likely originates from Nuremberg. City gate with the date 1497. There are two thematic similarities with the scene of the Carrying of the Cross from the so-called Schlüsselfeld Altarpiece (which, according to Erich Schneider, probably originally came from Schweinfurt), now located in the Augustinian Canons' Monastery of St. Florian: the two boards of nails tied around Christ's waist and the assembly of the crosses on the bare Calvary in the background.
Depicted below the scene are four members of the Thanhauser family: Ott Thanhauser (d. April 18, 1451), his sons Hans (d. February 7, 1490) and Jorg Thanhauser (d. March 12, 1479), and Jorg's son Christoph Thanhauser (d. January 25, 1494) with their wives, whose names are not given. ... Georg Thanhauser, whose wife Magdalena was mentioned in 1459, is documented as a lay judge in Neumarkt in 1467. His son Christoph is known to have promoted the establishment of the St. Sebastian Brotherhood of the crossbowmen's guild, founded on January 2, 1486.
The commissioner of the epitaph could be Hans Thanhauser (died November 14, 1516), son of Georg Thanhauser, who is mentioned as a citizen and court chapel administrator in Neumarkt in 1497 and 1498. He had the Holy Cross Chapel built in Neumarkt between 1514 and 1516 and endowed a priest's benefice for it in 1516. Since he had no children, he appointed his relative, Hans Thanhauser the Younger, whom he referred to as his cousin, and Hans Thanhauser's descendants as executors of his endowment.
Hans Thanhauser (died November 14, 1516), son of Georg Thanhauser, is a possible candidate. This cousin could be identical with Hans Thanhauser von Erasbach, to whom Emperor Charles V issued a charter of liberties for Erasbach Castle in 1522 and who himself also made charitable donations. He bore the same coat of arms as the members of the Thanhauser family on the epitaph.
