The Four Continents of the Earth paying Homage to the Virgin
Franz Joseph Spiegler

Oil on canvas

Inv.-Nr. Rl 9
Reuschel-Stiftung, Munich
Gallery 44
For an altarpiece in the parish church at Reinstetten near Biberach, Spiegler laid down this compositional sketch on a wet ground, partly in impasto and partly in glazes of colour over red underpainting which was to shimmer through. The veneration of the Virgin Immaculate with her parents Joachim and Anne throughout the world is symbolized by the Four Continents.
