COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
This depiction of the Virgin still adheres to a relatively rigid scheme dating from the late medieval period. Apparently a copper engraving by Albrecht Dürer, dated 1518, served as the model for Memberger's composition of the Virgin enthroned.
