Madonna of Mercy
Not on view
The Madonna of Mercy was a popular iconographic type that interpreted the Virgin Mary as an intercessor in the salvation of human souls. Here she is shown protecting people from all walks of life-a king, a bishop, a young girl, an old woman, a bearded man, and a youth. This panel has been attributed to the principal master in charge of the glazing program at Strassengel. He was associated with the imperial workshops at Vienna, and his style is particularly elegant, characterized by well-proportioned figures, softly modeled drapery, and delicately painted ornamentation.
