Art market, Munich (1986)
Literature:
Galerie Julius Böhler, Munich, Kunstwerke des deutschen Barock und Rokoko, 1630–1780, Munich 1986, p. 30, no. 14, illustrated
K. Garas, 18. Századi osztrák mesterek müvei magyarországon (Werke österreichischer Maler des 18. Jahrhunderts in Ungarn), in: Annales de la Galerie Nationale Hongroise, Budapest 1991, pp. 193ff., pl. 1;
J. Kronbichler, Johann Georg Grasmair, Barockmaler in Tirol, Bressanone/Brixen 2010, p. 90, no. 23
The present painting is an oil sketch for Grasmaier’s altarpiece painted in 1727 for the parish church of Banska Bystrica/Neusohl (Slovakia). Two years later, in 1729, Grasmair executed a panel of the same subject matter, but less detailed than the picture for Banska Bystrica, for a side altar in the basilica of Innsbruck-Wilten (J. Kronbichler, op. cit., p. 96, no. B36).
