Title:
"Mater Dolorosa"
Creator:
Hemmel, Peter, painter (Lautenbach Master)
Description:
The architectural elements in the scene—the canopies and tracery—that typically would be depicted as stone appear here in vegetal form. The "Mater Dolorosa" seems to sprout from this organic arrangement. The painting is largely executed in grisaille.
