Main Altar in the Marktkirche in Halle

June 27, 2020 by Henk Bekker

Main Altar in the Marktkirche in Halle

The wing altar of 1529 was probably designed by Lucas Cranach the Elder but was painted by his pupil Simon Franck. It can be shown in three versions but here are from left Mary Magdalene, John the Evangelist, Augustine from Hippo, Catharine of Alexandria.

On the predella is Mary with Child surrounded by the 14 Holy Helpers.
