St John the Evangelist
by HEYSACKER, Tilman, Painted oakwood, height 186 cm
This life-size figure was carved in the workshop of Tilman Heysacker (Master Tilman), who was originally from the Lower Rhine but was active in Cologne. This statue, together with a Mater Dolorosa (also in the Budapest museum) belonged to a Calvary group which stood under the triumphal arch of the church in Grossk�nigsdorf. The Corpus that once belonged to the group is still in Grossk�nigsdorf.
