Stock Photo - PRODUCTION - 30 November 2022, Saxony-Anhalt, Naumburg: Images of the Apostles Philip, Jacob the Younger with Bishop Philip of Wittelsbach (left wing) and Apostle Jacob the Elder, Saint Mary Magdalene with Bishop III of Schönberg (right wing) by Lucas Cranach the Elder can be seen on the altar of Mary in the west choir of the cathedral in Naumburg. The Leipzig painter Michael Triegel had completed the church painting created by Lukas Cranach the Elder in 1519 and recreated the central section. The location of the altarpiece in the west choir between the famous donor figures is disputed. In the view of experts from the World Council on Monuments Icomos, the work of art impairs the ""extremely sensitive visual relationships in the west choir."" Because of its location, there has even been public discussion about a possible withdrawal of the cathedral's World Heritage status. This Sunday, the public can take a last look at the artwork for the time being, before it will soon be shown in the Diözesanmuseum in Paderborn. According to a spokeswoman, some 73,000 people have seen the altar in Naumburg since July. Further stops are planned. It is expected to return at the end of 2024 or in the first half of 2025.
