Stuppach Madonna
by GRÜNEWALD, Matthias, Oil on canvas mounted on wood, 186 x 150 cm
The painting was the central panel of the Altarpiece of Our Lady of the Snow in the Abbey Church at Aschaffenburg, near Bad Mergentheim.
While Gr�newald’s late Passion pictures become more iconic and staged in a darker and more barren world than before, his later treatment of the Infancy is lyrical with the Madonna and Child placed in a lush and refreshing garden landscape.
