Nuremberg: Oil painting depicts birthday ceremony
The painting by the Nuremberg painter Paul Ritter (1829-1907) from 1888 moved into the city museum in May 2021.
You can see the main corridor on the second floor of the town hall.
Before that, a birthday ceremony will be held.
The picture captures the moment when the registrar Karl Crämer steps out of the small town hall - the current state hall.
In the corridor, some friends of the Bavarian Progress Party congratulated him on his 70th birthday.
Lecture reveals unknown details
When looking at the oil painting, the viewer traverses different time levels.
The stucco ceiling shown was completed by the two lime cutters Heinrich and Hans Kuhn von Weikersheim in 1621.
In the journeyman's engraving from 1446, it depicts the town's patrician sons. There are full-length portraits of the emperor on the walls.
