Devotionsbild der Familie Funk

Devotional picture of the Funk Family

Bernhard Strigel (about 1460–1528), um 1513 Oil and tempera on Oak panel,

Bernhard Strigel, son of the sculptor Ivo Strigel, was first mentioned in the Memmingen tax book in 1505. He was the principal painter for Emperor Maximilian I, of whom he painted several portraits, including the only one in his coronation regalia. In 1518 Strigel was elected master of the Mercer's' guild and the Memmingen council, where he also served as envoy for legal affairs. One of his main works is the family altar of St. Stephen in Mindelheim, donated in 1505 by the mercenary leader Ulrich Frundsberg and his wife Barbara Rechberg.

Judgement of Paris

Lucas Cranach the elder (about 1553), workshop about 1525, um 1525 Oil and tempera on wood
Bildnis eines bärtigen Mannes

Portrait of a bearded man

Lucas Cranach the elder (about 1472–1553), 1527 Oil and tempera on Beech panel

Works by Lucas Cranach the Elder are among the important acquisitions made by the Stimmer Foundation. The Wittenberg painter ran a successful workshop that produced numerous altar paintings, religious and mythological motifs in addition to portraits. The intimate portrait of the unknown bearded man was probably intended for private use.
Bildnis Bürgermeister Alexander Peyer

Portrait of Bürgermeister Alexander Peyer

Hans Asper, 1554 Oil and tempera on Limewood panel

The Stimmer Stiftung acquired the representative portrait of its well known ancestor back in 1950. The Burgermeister had himself portrayed by the Zurich painter in 1554. On the sheet of paper in Peyer's hand, Asper left a unique personal dedication to his "dear and good friend".
Bildnis eines jüngeren Mannes

Portrait of a young man

Ambrosius Holbein (about 1494–about 1519), um 1519 Oil on wood

Ambrosius Holbein, brother of Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/98–1543), worked with the Schaffhausen painter Thomas Schmid (around 1490–1550/60) on the decoration of the main Hall of the St George monastery in Stein am Rhein during his journeymanship. The small circular picture is one of the very few paintings attributed to the Basel book illustrator, who died young.
Maria mit Kind und Traube (Traubenmadonna) (Restauriert)

Virgin and Child with grapes

Lucas Cranach the elder (about 1472–1553), um 1535-40 Oil on European Beech panel

Cranach's Madonna of the Grapes shows Mary with her son Jesus eating from a bunch of grapes. The motif anticipates Christ's passion. By dying on the cross, he forgave everyone their sins. The memory of the blood that was shed lives on in the celebration of the Eucharist or 'Lord's Supper' during which the faithful take a sip of wine.

Lucas Cranach repeated such motifs again and again in his successful artist workshop. This enabled him to serve a wide variety of customers. The Schaffhausen version was probably intended as a devotional picture for a private setting. The winged snake, the certificate of authenticity from the Cranach workshop, proves its originality.

The Madonna of the Grapes by Lucas Cranach the elder has been in the Museum zu Allerheiligen since 1953 on permanent loan from the Peyer'sche Tobias Stimmer Foundation.
