Description

The catalogue and exhibition in cooperation with the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum in Aachen are dedicated to an important work from the Peter and Irene Ludwig Collection. The oak-wood panel created in 1475 deals with the, for panel painting, quite rare subject of the ars bene moriendi, of the, in medieval times, central question of dying well. This panel has now undergone extensive examination with respect to style and iconography, and been classified as part of the topic of dying well and portraying the Intercession (the Protection of Maria and Christ). Other valuable works such as the unique ars moriendi block book of the Gutenberg-Museum in Mainz supplement this concentrated discourse. Exhibition: Ludwig Galerie Schloss Oberhausen, Oberhausen, Germany 21 February through 8 May 2016 and Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum Aachen 30 June through 25 September 2016.
