| Abstract: | The epitaph of Elisabeth Schmid dating from the year 1575 is a partially polychrome alabaster epitaph depicting typical post ‐ Reformation contents in a relief. It impresses the viewer mainly by its quiet elegance (plain but elegant form). This was achieved through a combination of alabaster of various colours contrasting with the partial polychromy consisting of the basic colours red, blue and green as well as black and gold. The surface of the alabaster is covered by coating. The epitaph was completed by three bits on top which are lost and by surrounding ornamental painting on the plaster which is partially preserved. The right column was lost and was replaced by a wooden replica. The most extensive phenomena of damage are the massive soilage by various materials, losses of stone material as well as loss or modification of the partial polychromy. |
