Baptism of Christ in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2009

Baptism of Christ in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2009

Workshop of: Veit Stoss (German, d. 1533)

Title: Baptism of Christ

Date: ca. 1480–90

Geography: Made in Nuremberg, Germany

Culture: German

Medium: Limewood with paint and gilding

Dimensions: Overall: 48 x 40 x 3 in. (121.9 x 101.6 x 7.6 cm)

Classification: Sculpture-Wood

Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1912

Accession Number: 12.130.1

Description:

Saint John the Baptist baptizes Christ in the presence of an angel. The shallow relief was once part of an interior wing to a lost altarpiece. The composition follows a popular engraving by Martin Schongauer of about 1480. The Nuremberg sculptor Veit Stoss employed numerous assistants for his altarpiece in the Church of the Virgin in Cracow, Poland, and it was probably one of these assistants who carved this relief.
