Students in Professor Stephen Burt’s Painting I and
Painting II classes recently completed this “re-envisioning,” in
oil paint, of German artist Martin Schongauer’s black-and-white
print, “The Procession to Calvary.” The print
dates from the mid-15th century. “In using a reproduction
of an engraving as a source,” Burt said, “the
students adopted the period practice of appropriating and
disseminating images from the print medium.” The mural
is currently on display on Fenwick 4.
