EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning triptych, created around 1525 by the enigmatic artist known as Pseudo-Jan Wellens de Cock, offers a captivating exploration of the themes of faith, devotion, and the Passion of Christ. The central panel depicts the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, surrounded by the mourning Virgin Mary, St. John the Evangelist, and the repentant thief. The inner left wing reveals St. Peter, the first Pope and one of Jesus' twelve apostles, in prayerful devotion, accompanied by a male donor. St. Peter, with keys symbolizing his role as the "gatekeeper of heaven," is a central figure in Christian tradition and is often depicted in art as a leader and protector of the faith. The inner right wing showcases St. James the Great, another apostle, with a female donor. St. James, the patron saint of Spain, is depicted carrying a pilgrim's staff and a scallop shell, symbols of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. The female donor, likely a member of the patron's family, pays homage to the saint. The outer wings of the triptych display St. Christopher carrying the Christ Child on his shoulders, symbolizing the journey of faith and the protection of the child Jesus. The intricate details and rich colors of this Flemish masterpiece, now housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, transport us back to the 16th century and offer a glimpse into the deep spiritual beliefs of the time.
