Religious reverse glass painter
South Germany
Mary of Victory.
Tempera behind glass. Unsigned.
H 25,5,
Mary of Victory is a widespread Counter-Reformation type of image, which in a broader sense embodies the Christian promise of salvation and with it, redemption from evil, but in a narrower sense also the concrete overcoming of all enemies of the institution of the Catholic Church. The patrocinium of Mary of Victory, borne by the title church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome, commemorates the 1620 victory of the Catholic League over Protestant Bohemia in the so-called Battle of White Mountain.
Provenance: Gertrud von Lukasiewiecz, Bad Säckingen; by succession transferred to private property Hexental.
