Niklaus Manuel (Deutsch), Die Bekehrung des Saulus, 1515/1518, Mischtechnik auf Fichtenholz, 119,5 x 155,7 cm, Gottfried Keller-Stiftung, Bundesamt für Kultur, Bern, Depositum im Kunstmuseum Bern -
Niklaus Manuel is one of the prominent figures in the period of transition from the Middle Ages
to the early modern age. He was a painter, statesman, reformer, Swiss mercenary, commander-
in-chief, founder of the Manuel dynasty, and many other things as well. Three panels
ascribed to his hand have survived as part of the Museum of Fine Arts Berne Collection. They
originally belonged to a lost altarpiece of the former Dominican church in Bern, now called
Französische Kirche (French church). What actually happens to pictures when their meaning
undergoes a radical change? Whereas they were sacred fixtures while housed in a church, at
the Museum of Fine Arts Berne they are kept and cared for as the works of an important artist.
This small presentation of the collection addresses these topics.
