AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent panel, lead-glass painting, dated 1550, probably Switzerland; the text in the lower part means about this panel: “This panel was commissioned and donated in the year 1550 by the brothers Hans Conrad and Hans Jacob Hütter from the town of Schaffhausen.” The donor inscriptions on the lower edge name the sponsors of the glass panel and document a personal gift. In 16th-century Switzerland it was a fixed tradition (so-called donation panels) that wealthy citizens, guilds, or officials donated such splendid glass paintings for town halls, churches, or private rooms.
The scene depicts a biblical or historical narrative. In the foreground a soldier in antique-looking Roman armor (tunic and laurel wreath) acts, while in the background a figure with an oriental turban and blue garment is visible.
The panel shows some cracks, partly network-like. The glazing has been repaired over the years with lead cames.
The detailed figurative scene, the named donors at the lower edge (Hans Cunrad and Hans Jacob), and the fine schwarzlot painting are of good craftsmanship.
