High Altar (Detail)

Detail of the High Altar on the Jacobikirche in Stendal

The chancel (1612) and high altar (1602) in the Jacobikirche in Stendal are by Hans Haake.

The central scene is the Passover meal eaten in haste by Moses and the Elders of Israel before leaving Egypt — loins girded, shoes on the feet, and staff in hand. The lower scene is the Last Supper of Christ with the twelve disciples.
