Brief Description
A multi-panel artwork with a central mother and child, surrounded by figures, and various narrative scenes
Detailed Description
This triptych features three panels with pointed tops, the central panel being taller and wider than the two hinged side panels. Many scenes are set against a gold background. The central panel's upper section depicts a woman and infant. The woman, in a blue robe and red dress, holds the infant, who wears an orange robe. Both figures have halos. They are surrounded by four haloed male figures, two on each side, dressed in various colored robes including yellow, blue, and red. Above them, four small winged figures with red wings appear from golden clouds. The lower section of the central panel shows a scene with a kneeling woman, an infant in a wooden crib, and a seated man. The woman wears a blue robe, and the man wears a maroon robe. A donkey and an ox are visible behind the crib, all within a rocky cave setting with green foliage. The left panel is divided into three horizontal sections. The top section shows a figure in a pink robe, possibly winged, in the sky holding a long, thin object. The middle section portrays a figure on a cross. Below the cross, four figures stand: two in blue robes and two in red or maroon robes. The letters "INRI" are visible above the cross. The bottom section features a haloed figure standing in a sarcophagus, surrounded by several other figures, some with halos, against a blue background. The right panel is also divided into three horizontal sections. The top section shows a woman in a blue robe seated on a bed in a room, reading a book. The middle section presents two standing male figures with halos. The figure on the left is nude except for a white loincloth, while the figure on the right wears a dark brown, hooded garment. The bottom section depicts a figure in a brown robe kneeling over a small, haloed figure lying on the ground in a rocky landscape with green trees and a small building.
