Workshop of Quinten Massys
A brown-haired man, dressed in black robes trimmed with brown fur, prays over a book that rests on a raised flower bed. There are no indications of his identity, but with his turned-up nose and strongly cleft chin he looks very like Quinten Massys‘ portrait of Peter Gillis (Collection of the Earl...

The Three Kings – Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar – present gifts to the Christ Child in the ruins of a grand building. The Virgin Mary sits on the edge of the manger while Saint Joseph, her husband, comes down a staircase just visible to the left. A crowd of curious onlookers, some wearing turban...

The resurrected Christ has appeared to the Virgin Mary in a room in a fifteenth-century Netherlandish house. The appearance of Christ to the Virgin is not mentioned in the Gospels, but it was widely believed that immediately after the Resurrection he revealed himself first to his mother.In the ni...

Christ wears the rich cloak and the crown of thorns in which, according to the Gospels, he was dressed before he was crucified. But the wounds of the Passion (his torture and crucifixion) indicate that he has already died and been resurrected.Bouts brings Jesus’s torments vividly to life, showing...

Several episodes of the story of the Passion (Christ’s torture and crucifixion) are packed into this busy painting. The narrative begins in the background on the left, where Christ is scourged. In the next scene he has been crowned with thorns and dressed in a purple (now blue) robe; he holds a r...

Workshop of Pieter Coecke van Aalst
A woman kneels at prayer desk. We don't know who she is; she was once identified by a coat of arms – of which little now remains – on the side of her prayer desk. The painting is on the front of the right wing of a triptych (a painting in three parts). Her husband, possibly a member of the Bollis...

A man kneels at a prayer desk in a landscape. In the background Christ carries the Cross, helped by Simon of Cyrene; they are surrounded by soldiers and tormentors. We aren‘t sure who the patron is, but the coat of arms on the desk might be those of the Bollis family of Sint-Truiden. His clothes...

Christ’s body has just been brought down from the Cross and is being prepared for burial – the square door to his tomb is visible in the rock face on the right. His mother embraces him tenderly, while Mary Magdalene anoints his feet. Another woman washes his wounds with water from a brass basin w...

The Archangel Gabriel, evidently arriving at speed, raises his hand to gesture to the Virgin Mary, the end of whose cloak can be seen trailing across the floor at the bottom of this picture.This was on the outside of the left wing of an altarpiece possibly made for a member of the Bollis family o...

Christ hangs from a T-shaped cross. Sorrowing angels circle above him in a stormy sky, while the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist stand on either side, wringing their hands. The skull – seen from beneath and minus its jaw bone – is probably that of Adam, the first man, but it’s also a r...

Workshop of Goossen van der Weyden
All seems calm in the foreground of this picture – Saint Joseph leads a placid (and delightfully hairy) donkey on which the Virgin Mary sits feeding the Christ Child. But look closer and the atmosphere changes. This is a family fleeing a massacre: the Massacre of the Innocents. When King Herod le...

A severed head lies on a gilded platter resting on a blue tasselled cushion. This is the head of Saint John the Baptist, who was executed on the orders of King Herod (Mark 6: 17–29). Child and adult angels gather around it in grief.The cult of the Baptist was very popular in medieval and renaissa...

The Virgin, Christ Child and Saint Anne, the Virgin’s mother, sit in a small ‘paradise’ garden. Saint Anne holds a fruit, probably a pear, in one hand and reaches out to Christ with the other. A book lies open on her knees.The garden is edged by a turf bench supported by bricks, on which Anne is...

It is painted in grisaille (in shades of black, white and grey) and would have been visible when the altarpiece was closed.The Virgin Mary rises and turns to g...
