About this motif
St James's Church houses Tilman Riemenschneider's Holy Blood Altar, one of the masterpieces of late Gothic woodcarving. It was created at the beginning of the 16th century.
H. Sommer's etching shows the altar's Last Supper scene: Christ among the disciples at the long table, with finely carved faces and robes beneath Gothic tracery. Image about 8 x 11 cm on an 18 x 24 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
