Georgsaltar
vor 1519 | Sebald Bocksdorfer
The St George’s Altar was made at the behest of Emperor Maximilian I. St George was the ideal of Christian knighthood and a symbol of Maximilian’s plans for a grand crusade. Maximilian not only patronized the Knightly Order of St George that his father had instituted, but also himself created a Brotherhood of St George. The altar wings are adorned by images of saints, notably of St Agathius and St Sebastian, whose pictures are at the same time veiled portraits of Maximilian’s grandsons Charles V and Ferdinand I. The escutcheons point to the Emperor’s extensive political and territorial claims, which reached as far as Portugal, England and Naples.
