Sten Karling considered the carved Calvary scene to be the work of Johann Valentin Rabe<\/strong>. The types of figures and their carved contours, however, to the extent that we can discern from beneath the thick secondary coats of paint, point more to Ackermann<\/strong>\u2019s authorship.<\/p>\n

Carl Sigismund Walther<\/strong>\u2019s painting Calvary is one of the dozens of paintings that this artist from Dresden painted in the mid-19th<\/sup> century for Estonian churches. His work was quite likely relatively inexpensive and he worked quickly. Walther\u2019s brightly coloured pictures were pleasing to congregation members uneducated in art, and the people depicted in them came across as benign.<\/p>\n

Rudolf von zur M\u00fchlen<\/strong>\u2019s oil painting is an excellent example of how, at the end of the 19th<\/sup> century, some congregations still clung to orthodox Lutheranism, with a focus on Christ\u2019s death on the cross and the redemption of mankind by his sufferings and blood. Compared to Walther\u2019s painting, von zur M\u00fchlen\u2019s painting comes across as very grim. The elevation of the retable and the enlargement of the central painting\u2019s format is in harmony with the proportions of the new church: the message of Christ\u2019s death on the cross and the redemption of mankind that the altar picture was meant to convey to the congregation had to be clearly visible even from the farthest corner of the church nave.<\/p>\n

The new Hageri church was built at a time when the Estonian National Awakening movement was in full swing and the lack of text in Estonian \u2013 parables and Christian teaching \u2013 for the retable had become inappropriate. The congregation\u2019s German elite had to take the congregation\u2019s Estonian majority into consideration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
