One of only a handful of extant works attributed to the Master of the Stötteritz Altarpiece, this small panel is a fine example of the heightened realism that characterized fifteenth-century Northern European painting. Author David S. Areford shows how the artist's skilful portrayal of intense human emotion is still relevant today.
