Lot Essay

This lively design is based upon Martin Schongauer's engraving of the same subject and can be dated to 1470-80. Two other panels from the same altar piece are known: and the latter of which was sold Sotheby's, London, 9 December 2004, lot 163 (£42,000). Comparison between this and the present panel reveals the same decoration on Christ's halo and identical punchwork in the gold-ground background. These three panels, together with one likely depicting would originally have formed the inner register of one side of an altarpiece. A rare master, the artist takes his name from a panel from an altar wing depicting and which originated from a church in the town of Gebweiler in Alsace and is now held in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Strasbourg. It is likely that the painter was active in Basel and the Upper Rhine area.
