Der gute Weg zum Himmel
The Good Path to Heaven: Late Medieval Images of Dying Well. The Painting ars bene moriendi from the Peter and Irene Ludwig Collection
with the, for panel painting, quite rare subject of the ars bene moriendi, of the, in medieval times, central question of dying well. This panel has now undergone extensive examination with respect to style and iconography, and been classified as part of the topic of dying well and portraying the Intercession (the Protection of Maria and Christ). Other valuable works such as the unique “ars moriendi” block book of the Gutenberg-Museum in Mainz supplement this concentrated discourse.
