Margarethe Vöhlin, Wife of Hans Roth [obverse]
Bernhard Strigel·1527
Historical Context
Bernhard Strigel, the leading painter of Memmingen and court painter to Emperor Maximilian I, created this composition around 1527. The work reflects the artistic conventions and devotional culture of the High Renaissance period, when religious painting served both public worship and private contemplation across Europe. Now held at National Gallery of Art, it demonstrates the artist's contribution to the rich visual culture of the early sixteenth century.
Technical Analysis
The panel shows the precise draftsmanship and rich color characteristic of German Renaissance painting, with the detailed rendering and clear compositional structure typical of the artist's workshop production.
