| Abstract: | In 1521, the former Franciscan cloister in Dortmund ordered the carved altarpiece of the Dortmund Petrichurch from the picture wood carver Jan Wraghe and the painter Adrian van Overbeck in Antwerp. This thesis concentrates on the completely open condition of the altarpiece with its 30 scenes adorned with sculptures and reliefs. By the technological examination of the construktion the altarpiece is examined for orginality and special features of the construction. In this context it is also necessary to look at the history of the altarpiece in order to be able to identify and explain occurring changes. The figures of the altarpiece are scrutinized for their technical working process. In addition, the thesis examines whether two carved Antwerp figures which can be found in the Dortmund Petrichurch, originally belonged to the altarpiece. |
