Via Crucis in Annaberg
The first Via Crucis in art history using the Monotype technique
In 1973, Professor Sepp Gamsjäger created the VIA CRUCIS OF ANNABERG with its 14 plates. It could first be seen in the parish church of Annaberg, followed by more than 80 other chapels. (Using the Monotype technique, a piece of glass is painted and the image is then transferred onto a sheet of paper before it dries, using pressure. Colours and contours merge; the essential can be recognised, but a lot of room is left for imagination.)
Violet is a liturgical colour symbolising abstinence and times of passion. By partly adding green, a dirty tone is created, the colour of sins symbolises untidiness and dross. Evil persons are coloured red.
The originals were burnt in enamel and can be seen along the "Via Sacra" leading us to the parish church of Annaberg.
The picture frame sybolises Christ's corpus.
The pins symbolise Christ's crucifixion and suffering. They are piercing the Redeemer's body.
The three pillars on which the painting is placed symbolise faith, hope and love (Kor. 13,13).
