Flügelaltar und hll. Maria und Johannes

Ende 15. Jahrhundert | Hans Multscher

Originally these statues were part of the winged altar of the late Gothic church of Pöggstall in Lower Austria, which were purchased for the collections of Ambras in the 19th century and now stand in the Österreichischen Galerie in the Belvedere. The expressive sculptures were influenced by Swabian artists and are quite reminiscent of works by Hans Multscher from Ulm. Very special are the intact back-plates with the original nails
