Fragment with the Last Supper from the Gradual of St. Katharinenthal (Thurgau)
Description
Fragment with a representation of the Last Supper, from an
I-initial. This initial consisted of several medallions and
decorated page f. 87a of the gradual of St. Katharinenthal. In the
19th century, this leaf was removed from the gradual, and the
medallions were sold separately. Of the 9 or 10 medallions that
originally made up the body of the letter I, there are known today,
in addition to this one, medallions with the following scenes: the
Arrest of Christ (Nürnberg, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Inv. Mm.
34 kl), Christ before Pilate (Zurich, Swiss National Museum, LM
55087), the Crowning with Thorns (Frankfurt am Main, Städelsches
Kunstinstitut, Inv. Nr. 15932), the Bearing of the Cross (Frankfurt
am Main, Städelsches Kunstinstitut, Inv. Nr. 14312), the
Crucifixion (Zurich, Swiss National Museum, LM 45751) and the
Descent from the Cross (Frankfurt am Main, Städelsches
Kunstinstitut, Inv. Nr. 15933). The fragment belongs to the Swiss
Confederation, the Gottfried Keller Foundation and the Canton of
Thurgau.
