About the Artwork

The Hirschvogel family was active in Nuremberg in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, painting glass commissions from most of the leading artists of the town, including the great Albrecht Dürer. It appears that two hands were involved here, one with a linear, graphic style that can be seen in the figure of the Virgin and elsewhere, while the work of a more subtle painter can be seen in the figure of Christ and the head of Saint John.
