DescriptionChrist and his twelve disciples on a ship that resembles a (contemporary to the print) galleon. Christ stands at the bow, one hand on his cheek. Swirling waves roll beneath them, as the ship's sails are puffed out by a strong wind and a banner flies above. This image is on recto of the sheet; PC2014.14.49 is on verso. The Schatzbehalter, or “treasure chest of the true riches of the saints and eternal salvation,” was an illustrated work published by Anton Koberger. It was written by Stephan Fridolin, a Franciscan in Nuremberg whose German text narrates 100 events in the life of Christ that are accompanied by 91 full-page woodcut illustrations.This record has been reviewed by University Galleries staff but may be incomplete or contain errors.
