# Interior decoration [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DAUCHER, Hans]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary Jakob Fugger II \(1459-1525\) erected the Fugger Chapel in the Carmelite monastery of St Anna. The Fugger Chapel was the first significant Renaissance-style burial project in Germany. Although the names of the architect and decorators are undocumented, much of the sculptural decoration has been attributed to Sebastian Loscher \(active 1510-1548\) and Hans Daucher. The most notable works are the four marble reliefs against the western wall. Albrecht Dürer designed c. 1510 the central pair representing the Resurrection, with the shrouded corpse of Ulrich below, and, to the right, Samson and the Philistines, with the effigy of Georg. The outer pair honouring Jakob are more Italianate in their architectural features, possibly due to the involvement of Hans Burgkmair I, the leading painter in Augsburg. The sculptural decoration also included marble putti on the balustrade; the free-standing marble Lamentation. Jörg Breu the Elder painted the wings of the large and small organs, the former depicting the Ascension and the Assumption of the Virgin, the latter Allegories on the Invention of Music, that dominate the upper western wall. The splendour of the chapel is still evident despite the repeated removal of art from 1818 and the bomb damage of 1944. ## Related artworks - [Allegory of Virtues and Vices at the Court of Charles V \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of Virtues and Vices at the Court of Charles V]() - [Charles V on Horseback]() - [Madonna and Child with Angels]() - [Portal of the ducal chapel]() - [Shield Bearer with the Ducal Arms of Savoy]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
