Stuppacher Madonna
Stuppacher Madonna Review
Within the village of Stuppach, 11 km (7 mi) southeast of Bad Mergentheim, the Pfarrkirche Mariä Krönung chapel guards one of the great Renaissance German paintings, the Stuppacher Madonna, by Matthias Grünewald (circa 1475-1528). It was only in 1908 that experts finally recognized it as the work of Grünewald; repainting in the 17th century had turned it into an unexceptional work. Though Grünewald was familiar with the developments in perspective and natural lighting of Italian Renaissance painting, his work remained resolutely anti-Renaissance in spirit: tortured, emotional, and dark.
