Grablegung Christi
17. Jahrhundert
From the middle of the 15th century Augsburg proved to be the most important centre of German silversmith-art. Along with its close contacts to Italy, allowing the Renaissance to gain ground in Augsburg very early on, Dutch influences, formed by the School of Fontainebleau, could also be found by the second half of the 16th century. After the Reformation Augsburg became the main supplier of Catholic liturgical objects, such as chalices, cruets, and incense thuribles. Since the middle of the 17th century silver objects from Augsburg had been popular export articles. The objects from Ambras were mentioned in the inventory of 1882 and a summary listing of Church silver can be found already in the inventory of 1730.
The relief shows Christ sitting on a stone holding a reed, which alludes to scripture Mt. 12,20 (He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.).
