Description
One of the most scenic locations in Nuremberg, Germany, located in Bavaria, the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, Heilig Geist Spital was established in 1332–39 by wealthy patrician, Konrad Gross, for the care for the elderly & needy. It was the largest private endowment in the Holy Roman Empire up to 1500. After 1500 the building complex was extended over the Pegnitz according to plans by Hans Beheim the Elder. Two structures along the southern arm of the Pegnitz River and the north wall of the former hospital church with its polygonal ridge-turret (Hans Sachs Platz) survive.
From 1424 to 1796, the imperial regalia were kept in the hospital church In the ”Hanselhof“, Nürnberg’s earliest large-scale cast bronze sculpture (ca 1380; original in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum). In the arcaded ”Kreuzigungshof“, the central figures of Adam Kraft’s Crucifixion group (ca 1506/08) and the tomb monuments of Konrad Gross (d. 1356) and Herdegen Valzner (d. 1423)
An award winning photo.
It was a rainy overcast day in the Winton M. Blount Cultural Park, Montgomery, Alabama. Touring with friends in the area I saw this wonderful sculpture off in the distance as it was pouring rain outside. Not to be dissuaded I jumped out of the car and caught this sculpture of running frocking kids jumping over a puddle against one of the museums.
