I'm very gratified to hear that the Germanisches Nationalmuseum Crucifix is from there. That would explain the worn off pigment on the shins.<br />Counterlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345956180434795401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-52262646530343841962016-08-23T11:04:17.757-04:002016-08-23T11:04:17.757-04:00Excellent work, Doug, as usual.

The Cruci...Excellent work, Doug, as usual. Or ever.<br />The Crucifix in the Germanisches Reichsmuseum (that sounds like the Führer himself opened it in 1936) was donated by the city council in the 1890's as a permanent loan. Before that it was comforting the old and sick in the Heiliggeist Spital or Hospital of the Holy Ghost. No surprise that it suffered heavily in WW II, but it was reconstructed in the early '50s. The crypt of the Imperial Chapel in Nürnberg houses another Veit Stoss Crucifix, that is quite comparable.<br /><br />Greetings<br />Gerrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04910180248036790177noreply@blogger.com
