Description
In a circular wreath of frontal and regularly arranged 17 rose petals with leaves, Christ is placed on the cross with Mary to his left and John on his right, filling the circle completely; round folk wood carving, set in rosary on both sides, creating a fully plastic impression of the figures; originally with colored frame; comes from a large Rosary group; is a rather unusual representation of which the purpose of use is unclear, but has certainly been shown as freestanding (as an essay or coronation) or hanging; the shapes of the figures with their squat proportions and the strong parallel guidance of the garment drapery are baroque and, like the ornament, do not fit into the late gothic, in which the wreath was later dated back to the museum.
Provenance
Purchased in December 1953 for the municipal collection for DM 200 at auction LII (16/17 Dec. 1953, Lot No. 910) at the art auction house Adolf Weinmüller, Munich.
