The painting shows two kneeling figures — a man in dark habit and a woman in civilian dress — on either side of a church building, while above them the Altötting Madonna appears in a radiant formation of clouds. The inscription on the painting reads: \"Zwei gewisse Personen verlobten sich hieher in gewissen Anliegen zur Muttergottes. EXVOTO. 1879.\" The reverse gives the publisher's name: Drittordensverlag Altötting Nr. 917.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAltötting is the principal Marian shrine of Bavaria and one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage sites in German-speaking Europe. The Holy Chapel houses hundreds of ex-votos left by pilgrims in gratitude for graces received. The votive painting reproduced on this card is a rare example of an anonymous pledge — \"two certain persons\" who do not reveal their names but record their devotion for posterity. The Drittordensverlag was the Franciscan publishing house connected to the shrine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Collectionist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56685508002116,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0530\/1442\/9896\/files\/img20260410_19103393.jpg?v=1776773424","url":"https:\/\/thecollectionist.nl\/en\/products\/devotional-card-ex-voto-altotting-1879","provider":"The Collectionist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
