In Neuem Glanz / With New Splendour
Das Schacher-Fragment des 'Meisters von Flemalle' im Kontext / The Crucified Thief by the 'Master of Flemalle' in Context
edited by Jochen Sander
This exhibition catalogue provides insight into the spectacular conservation of this masterpiece from the Stadel Museum in Frankfurt. The Crucified Thief fragment, by the “Master of Flemalle”, shines in new splendour. The book documents the spectacular results of the restoration, and describes and comprehensively contextualises the painting.
The gruesome picture of a crucified man: It was once the top half of the right wing of a monumental altarpiece the rest of which has long been lost without trace. That Deposition Triptych from around 1430 is considered a founding work of early Netherlandish painting, comparable to the Ghent Altarpiece. The exhibition catalogue provides insight into the spectacular conservation of this masterpiece from the Stadel Museum, reconstructs the original appearance of the lost ensemble with the aid of copies, and explains the context of its creation by means of international loans and gems of the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung. The ingenious play with contemporary visual expectations and pictorial reality make this painting a key work in the history of European art. Es ist ein Schlusselwerk der europaischen Kunstgeschichte, geschaffen von einem der ratselhaftesten Kunstler der fruhen niederlandischen Malerei. Das jungst restaurierte, auf beiden Seiten bemalte Gemaldefragment ist der einzig erhaltene Teil eines groaformatigen Kreuzabnahme-Triptychons, das zu den bedeutendsten und einflussreichsten Werken seiner Zeit gehort hat. Neben den Ergebnissen der technologischen Untersuchung und Restaurierung des Gemaldes werden 13 ausgewahlte Kunstwerke Vergleichsstucke prasentiert, darunter die namensgebenden “Flemaller Tafeln”, die “Medici-Madonna” Rogier van der Weydens sowie gefasste und ungefasste Skulpturen des Meisters des Rimini-Altars und Hans Multschers. Sie lassen exemplarisch die wechselseitigen Bezugnahmen zwischen Mal- und Bildhauerkunst erkennen und tragen so zu einem tieferen Verstandnis fur den atemberaubenden Detailrealismus und die suggestive Wirkung des Retabels auf den zeitgenossischen Betrachter bei.
