SOUTHERN GERMAN, PROBABLY NUREMBERG, CIRCA 1500
HALF FIGURE OF SAINT JOHN THE EVANGELIST
gilt and polychromed wood
43cm., 17in.
With Reinhold Hofstätter, Vienna
An origin of the present figure in Nuremberg is suggested by its resemblance to the Angel Annunciate and supporting Angels in Veit Stoss's Angelic Salutation of 1517-1518 in the Nuremberg Church of St Lorenz, see R. Kahsnitz (ed.), Veit Stoß in Nürnberg: Werke des Meisters und seiner Schule in Nürnberg und Umgebung, exh. cat. Nuremberg, Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich, 1983, figs. 43 and 57-58.
