Triptychon mit dem auferstandenen Christus umgeben von Agnes, Maria, Johannes und Elisabeth, sowie vier Parabeln
(A Triptych depicting the Resurrected Christ with Agnes, Mary, John and Elisabeth and the Parables of Christ)
signed, dated and inscribedMA. SEITZ ROMÆ 1853lower right of centre panel
oil on panel
closed: 56.5 by 72cm., 22¼ by 28¼in.; open: 56.5 by 144cm., 22¼ by 56¾in. (3 hinged panels)
Acquired by the grandfather of the previous owner, circa 1950 (sale: Sotheby's, London, 27 June 2007, lot 11)
Purchased at the above sale by the present owners
The outer panels of the triptych when closed have depictions from the Parables of Christ. The upper left scene is taken from theTen Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13); the upper right scene is from The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32); the lower left scene is from The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37); and the lower right scene is from The Pharisee and the Publican (Luke 18:9-14).
Alexander Maximilian Seitz was born in Munich, studied under Peter von Cornelius and was a leading member of the Nazarene movement. The Lukasbrüder in Germany’s Catholic south were a group of artists who left the academy in Vienna to move to Rome. Their work was principally figural, endowed with religious content, and influenced by the Middle Ages and the Old Masters. This they saw as their own contribution to the reformation of German society. In the medieval spirit, they participated in communal work; Seitz aided Friedrich Overbeck in completing the frescoes of the Evangelists and Apostles at Castel Gandolfo.
