# St John Altarpiece [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BURGKMAIR, Hans]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Wood ## Commentary And the same time with his printmaking activities, Burgkmair continued to paint traditional religious works, particularly altarpieces, with his own distinctive large-scale and fully modeled figures. A good example is the St John Altarpiece, which features the Evangelist on the island of Patmos in the centre, and the bishop saints Erasmus and Martin in an extended landscape on the wings. ## Related artworks - [Barbara and Hans Schellenberger]() - [Crucifix with Mary, Mary Magdalen and St John the Evangelist]() - [Emperor Maximilian on Horseback]() - [Gypsies in the Market]() - [Holy Family with the Child St John]() - [Madonna with Grape]() - [Portrait of Jacob Fugger]() - [Portrait of Johannes Paumgartner]() - [St John Altarpiece: St John the Evangelist in Patmos \(central panel\)]() - [The Story of Esther]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
