Schwartz painted the panels of this altar, designed by the architect H.B. Storck. At the center, Christ stands in a red robe, crowned with thorns, facing the people. On the outer wings, Mary appears twice: young, at the Annunciation, and old, at the end of her son’s life.
This is a photograph of the whole altar in the church, so you can see how the paintings sit in their carved and gilded frame.
