Description
Processional cross from the Dominican convent Heilig Kreuz in Regensburg (?). Christ is represented on both sides as a living dead, body protrudes beyond the edge of the cross. Painted on both sides. Evangelist symbols or sun / moon on the four-match. The brushwork, the colourfulness, the way the gold base is engraved and the painting style of the faces make this work a product of the routinely working and very homogeneous Regensburg painting workshops of the 14th century.
Provenance
1936 Brothers Lion, Munich, to GNM
