About the Item

The Judgment. An original German Historical oil painting after "Johann Von Schraudolph" signed and dated 1846. From Germany. Museum quality. Art work. Speyer Cathedral in Germany (origins from 1106) Romanesque Architecture. Johann Schraudolph (b. Oberstdorf im Allgau, 1808; died 31 May 1879) was a German historical painter. As pupil and assistant of Heinrich Maria von Hess, he painted five scenes from the life of St. Boniface in the basilica at Munich: St. Boniface preaching; his consecration as bishop; the cutting down of Thor's oak; the anointing of Pepin; and the burial of St. Boniface. Hess had already tested his work in the Church of All Saints where Schraudolph had painted scenes from the history of Moses, figures of David, Saul, etc. (which were destroyed by bombing in World War II ). Some of his devotional pictures became very popular: the Virgin with the Child Jesus; St. Agnes; Christ as the Friend of children; a Eucharistic service, etc. On the recommendation of Hess he received an important commission from Ludwig I of Bavaria, namely the painting of the frescoes for the cathedral of Speyer. Although he had already traveled once through Italy under the guidance of J. Ant. Forster and had made numerous copies of the Old Masters, yet he considered it necessary to make a new journey to Rome and Overbeck for the sake of this, his magnum opus. He made sure of the unity of the series by keeping his assistants (his brother Claudius, Hellweger, Andr. Mayer, etc.) in strict subordination to himself, by retaining for himself the designing of all the compositions for the cupola, the three choirs, and most of those for the nave, by drawing the most important cartoons and painting the most difficult pictures himself. The unifying conception of all the frescoes is: the Divine plan of salvation with special reference to the Blessed Virgin and the other patron saints of the cathedral, the deacon Stephen, Pope St. Stephen, and St. Bernard. After the completion of this undertaking Schraudolph enjoyed the favour of the king, who frequently inspected the numerous oil-paintings produced in Schraudolph's studio, and at times bought them for himself or the Alte Pinakothek. The frame has been restored and it is in excellent condition. A light cut is on the oil painting on the top left of it. Not easy to be seen by the eyes. Museum Art Work. Hand oil painting. It was hand paint with the help of a magnifying glass so it was fine Art work. Signed and dated 1846. Dimensions of the oil painting only (without the frame): Width 11.1 inches x high 13.4 inches.
