O soše
Veit Stoss carved Jesse around 1500; the figure is displayed in room 115 at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. David's father sleeps at the base of Christ's family tree, following a medieval way of showing his ancestry. The branches would carry successive ancestors, culminating in Mary with the infant Christ. This figure once belonged to a wooden altarpiece from an unidentified church, possibly in Nuremberg. The rest of that altar is lost. Stoss worked chiefly in Nuremberg and Krakow as a sculptor, painter and engraver.
Slovy muzea
The figure shows the sleeping Jesse, the father of David from the Old Testament. As the ancestor of the family tree of Christ, he was depicted in the Middle Ages sleeping as the starting point of the tree, on whose branches the ancestors of Christ are depicted. Mary with the Christ child is always shown at the top. The figure comes from a wooden altarpiece from an unknown church, possibly in Nuremberg, which is now lost.
Veit Stoss is one of the most prominent German sculptors around 1500 who was mainly active in Nuremberg (Bavaria, Germany) and Krakow (Poland), also as a painter and engraver.
