EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century triptych, created by the Master of the Saint Ursula Legend, showcases a devout donor and his two sons in deep prayer before the inner left wing, featuring Saint John the Evangelist. Saint John, dressed in rich, fur-lined robes, is depicted as an elderly man with a serene expression, holding a chalice or goblet. The intricate details of his garments reveal the artistic skill of the Master, with the deep folds of the voluminous gown, the delicate embroidery on the sleeves, and the vibrant colors of the fabric. The donor and his sons, dressed in fashionable clothing of the time, are shown kneeling humbly before the saint, their hands in prayer. The dragon at Saint John's feet symbolizes his role as the patron saint of art and artists, as well as his association with the apocalypse. The triptych, which likely once adorned the altar of a church in the Low Countries, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage and devotional practices of the fifteenth century. The Master of the Saint Ursula Legend expertly captures the essence of this devotional scene, inviting us to contemplate the deep connection between faith, family, and the saints.
