The Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence; (reverse) Giving Drink to the Thirsty. Artist: Master of the Acts of Mercy (Austrian, Salzburg, ca. 1465). Dimensions: Painted surface 29 x 18 3/8 in. (73.7 x 46.7 cm).This panel was orginally part of an altarpiece to which two panels in the Stdtisches Museum at Trier--Beheading of John the Baptist (with Harboring the Pilgrim on the reverse), and The Feast of Herod (with Feeding the Hungry on the reverse)--also belonged. When the altarpiece was closed, the Acts of Mercy could be seen while the opened altarpiece showed the gold-ground paintings with scenes from the life of John the Baptist and Saint Lawrence. Since the Acts of Mercy depicted in the art of this period commonly numbered six, three panels are probably missing from the wings of the altarpiece, one with the Baptism of Christ, and two other scenes from the life of Saint Lawrence. There is no indication of the contents of the central panel. An altarpiece by the same

Golgotha Franz von Stuck (German, 1863-1928). Golgotha, 1917. Oil on canvas, 46 7/8 x 48 1/4 x 3 3/16 in. (119.1 x 122.6 x 8.1 cm). This is one of five Crucifixions that Franz von Stuck painted during the difficult years just before and during World War I. Here, Christs sufferings at Golgotha take place not on a high cross but at eye level. Viewers can imagine themselves as part of this intimate scene, under an eclipsed sun, standing close to the haloed Virgin Mary, the crucified thief, and Christ on the cross. The buildings visible in the background suggest an eastern Mediterranean architectural style, acknowledging the historical location of the biblical scene. European Art 1917
