The Crucifixion comes from the collection of the German diplomat Baron von Schoen (1876–1969), son of an industrialist from Worms. Hans von Schoen studied law in Munich and Berlin and joined the Bavarian judicial and administrative service in 1898. After assignments at the embassies of Vienna, St. Petersburg and Rome, he worked from 1910 to 1918 as a privy counsellor and chargé d'affaires at the Bavarian embassy in Berlin. In 1920 he was a counsellor in the service of the Foreign Office of the German Reich in Vienna, later as envoy to Poland, from 1922 to 1926 as envoy to Greece and, until 1933, envoy to Hungary, where his son Leonardo von Schoen was born. After the National Socialists came to power, von Schoen, who was an avowed opponent of the regime, retired in 1933. His Munich villa served as a domicile for the Swiss representative office, and he himself died in 1969 at his country estate in Cureglia near Lugano in Switzerland. Von Schoen, who had already inherited an extensive art collection from his father, assembled an outstanding collection of ancient Greek art at an early age, which he bequeathed to the Staatliche Antikensammlungen in Munich in 1964. Von Schoen had been an honorary member of the Archaeological Institute of the German Reich since 1926.
