The last two original reliefs of the Naumburg master with the flagellation and the cross are no longer preserved. They fell victim to the cathedral fire in 1532 and were only completed in wood in the 18th century.

If you compare the figures of the 18th century with those of the Naumburg master from the 13th century, you will notice that the proportions are not quite correct. In particular, their facial features do not seem as vivid as those of the Naumburg Master's figures. In addition, the figures here do not carry the fashion of the 13th century, but that of the 18th century.
