Epitaph of Baron Karl von Herberstorff

Epitaph

mannerist sculptor

circa 1606

In a rectangular box with a German inscription around it is the life-like figure of a Protestant nobleman. He is dead, laid on a pillow; to one side of his body is a dagger above the heraldic symbol with a sword on the other. The deceased is wearing military clothing and a helm with raised visor and rich plumage. As an Evangelist, he was exiled from Radgona/Radkersburg and sought refuge in Petanjci at the castle of Nádasdy, where he died in 1606. He was buried in the church in Tišina, where his original gravestone can still be found. The photograph was taken by Jože Kološa – Kološ in the 1950s.
