The Suicide of Lucretia-1561, Workshop of Carl von Egeri (Swiss, 1510-1562) Pot–metal and colorless glass, oxide paint, and silver stain; lead came (framing strips).
Lucretia was a legendary ancient Roman heroine known as an ideal, virtuous wife. The scenes in the upper corners of this panel depict the Creation of Eve and the Fall of Man. Lucretia is shown next to the shield of the panel's patron, Friolin Kleger, whom the inscription at the base describes as a deputy regional governor of Gastar, in the district of Saint Gallen, Switzerland. Von Egeri was one of the most prominent Swiss glass painters of the mid–1500s.
