Diptych Leaf with Scenes of the Passion
(Medieval Europe )
This leaf typifies the diptychs with arcades. It represents the standard subjects of the group: the Entry into Jerusalem, Last Supper, Arrest of Christ, and Death of Judas. The figures are conventionalized types whose heads are slightly oversized.
There is a small break where the upper hinge was removed.
The matching leaf with the Washing of the Feet, Gethsemane, and Crucifixion was in the Kofler Collection.
