Friedrich Hohe (1802 Bayreuth - 1870 Munich) after Heinrich Maria von Hess (1798 - 1863 ): St Boniface bids farewell to his monastery in England, 1843, Lithography Technique: Lithography on Paper Stamp: At the bottom Blank stamp, Kunstverein in München. Inscription: At the lower part signed in the printing plate: "Auf Stein gez. v. Fr. Hohe / Gedr. v. J. B. Kuhn". At the lower part inscribed in the printing plate: "Abschied des Heiligen Bonifacius von seinem Kloster in England. / Der Kunstverein in München seinen Mitgliedern für das Jahr MDCCCXLIII. | Zweites Bild aus dem Cyklus der das Leben des heil. Bonifacius darstellenden Wandgemälde in der Basilica zu München.". Date: 1843 Description: When King Ludwig I of Bavaria expanded his residential city of Munich at the beginning of the 19th century, the art-loving ruler had to consider not only the aesthetic design of the sprawling city but also religious needs, which even corresponded to the current zeitgeist in the idea of combining art and religion, characterised by Nazarene art. From 1828, the construction of the Benedictine Abbey of St Boniface was planned in Maxvorstadt. The monastery church was also to take on the function of a parish church for the newly developed and increasingly populated district. The form of a basilica had already been specified in the earliest designs and the king suggested that the architects orientate themselves on the basilical churches of Rome and Ravenna, not least "[...] because of the wall decorations above the columns." (Letter dated 14 May 1829, St Bonifaz Abbey Archive, Munich). The design of the interior was entrusted to Heinrich Hess, who had been a member of Ludwig's circle of visual artists even before the crown prince's coronation and had been a professor at the Munich Academy since 1826. He had already become acquainted with the Italian buildings with their figural paintings during a travelling scholarship. In Munich, he was entrusted with the painting of the new Allerheiligen-Hofkirche from the 1830s, creating a beautiful cycle of frescoes in a Byzantine-inspired style, before beginning the history cycle on St Bonfatius in the church of St Boniface in 1837. The present lithograph shows a scene from the fresco cycle, in which the young clergyman can be seen on the deck of a small ship on the south coast of England, bidding farewell to his homeland. As a Benedictine monk, he had set himself the task of spreading the word of God among the unbaptised peoples of the continent and is therefore particularly known for his intensive missionary work among the Frisians and Franks. He is probably shown here on his departure on his first missionary journey in 716, as the simple costume of the Anglo-Saxon reveals. His later journeys, during which he succeeded in missionising the Frankish kingdom and founding numerous monasteries, he did so in the position of abbot of a monastery in Nursling. In the depiction according to Hess, Boniface's humble gaze shows the young monk's willingness to sacrifice himself in his God-pleasing activities. The saint's charisma, which probably characterises a successful missionary, can be seen in the admiring glances of his fellow travellers and the departing monks. As a depiction in the clerestory of the Munich basilica as well as in this large-format lithograph, the rousing effect of the missionary unfolds, who here receives the blessing of his abbot along the way.
