  
  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 D&Atilde;&frac14;rer. 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.

  This unique number is assigned to an individual artwork as part of the cataloguing process at the time of entry into the permanent collection.
  Most frequently, accession numbers begin with the year in which the artwork entered the museum&acirc;&#128;&#153;s holdings.
  For example, 2008.3 refers to the year of acquisition and notes that it was the 3rd of that year. The DIA has a few additional systems&acirc;&#128;&#148;no longer assigned&acirc;&#128;&#148;that identify specific donors or museum patronage groups.
