Description: | This altarpiece was probably made in the Netherlands in the late fifteenth century. The main central section depicts the Passion of Christ in intricate high relief, carved from oak, coloured and gilded. Although there would have also been doors to cover the lower section, only those on the upper section remain and are painted on both sides. As was typical, the images on the inside of each door panel are more detailed and more religiously significant. While the outer images represent saints, the figures on the inside depict God the Father and the Coronation of the Virgin Mary. | Subjects: | religion (the Passion; God the Father; the Coronation of the Virgin; unidentified saints) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Flemish School Æ Previously attributed to German School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8490... | Go to resource |
