Description
Around 1435, the Cologne Brotherhood of Saint Catherine commissioned Stephan Lochner to produce an altarpiece for their confraternity's chapel in the church of the Holy Apostles. The inner wings represent the martyrdom of the twelve apostles. On the left wing the martyrdoms of Sts Peter, Paul, Andrew, John the Evangelist, James the Greater and Bartholomew, while on the right wing those of Sts Thomas, Phillip, James the Less, Matthew, Simon and Judas, Matthias are depicted. The outer panels (today in Munich) show a pair of smaller donors kneeling in prayer before six patron saints.

Licensing edit

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

The author died in 1451, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
