panel paintings by Wolf Traut
These two panels with scenes fromthe death of St. John Baptist were painted by Wolf Traut in 1518.
The panels had been thinned and cradled in the past. This caused the panels to split in several places. The panels showed old discoloured and rather crude repaint as well as yellowed varnish layers.
