Vanderbilt photo identifier: SC.MSS.088.GERM.0061; Public Notes:
The Lamentation of Christ, This piece depicts the lamentation of Christ. The Virgin solemnly holds his corpse while two Bridgittine monks and two Bridgittine nuns kneel in prayer. Standing, to the left of the Virgin and Christ are St. Peter, holding the keys to heaven, and St. Bridget of Sweden holding her pilgrim's staff. To the right of the Virgin and Christ stand St. Andrew, with his X-shaped cross, and St. Agnes, with her lamb. Golgotha and the other crucified criminals can be seen in the background., c.1520
Vanderbilt photo identifier: SC.MSS.088.GERM.0048; Public Notes: The choice to depict St. Bridget was common at the time, because of her widely famous publication of her "Celestial Visions" in the 14th century. St. Agnes was also a highly en vogue saint during the period of this piece's creation and she serves to augment the Virgin Mary's purity.
Virgin and Child with St. Anne, St. Gereon, and a Donor, Depiction of the Virgin and Child, with St. Anne (the mother of the Virgin Mary), St. Gereon (popular military saint, especially in Bavaria), and an unspecified donor paying homage to the child., c.1520
