FURTHER DETAILS
FLEMISH SCHOOL EARLY 16TH CENTURY, CIRCLE OF THE MASTER OF THE HOLY BLOOD, THE LAMENTATION, OIL ON PANEL, THREE-LOBED AT THE TOP

This painting can be linked to the central panel of the Lamentation triptych in the Chapel of St Sang in Bruges (M. J. Friedländer, Early Netherlandish Painting, IXb, New York-Washington, 1973, p. 118), whose author, the Master of the Holy Blood (active around 1500-1520), takes his name. Of the many known versions and variants, our Pietà is similar in size to the painting held in the Capilla Real in Granada, which dates from the first half of the sixteenth century and which, like our Lamentation, must have circulated on the Antwerp market around 1520.

We would like to thank Peter van den Brink for linking our painting with the Lamentation triptych of the Master of the Holy Blood on the basis of a visual examination of the work.

Lot Essay

Ce tableau peut être mis en rapport avec le panneau central du triptyque de la Lamentation conservé dans la chapelle du Saint-Sang à Bruges (M. J. Friedländer, Early Netherlandish Painting, IXb, New York-Washington, 1973, p. 118) et dont l’auteur, le maître du Saint-Sang (actif vers 1500-1520), tient son nom d’emprunt. Parmi les nombreuses versions et variantes connues, notre Pietà présente des dimensions similaires au panneau conservé à la Capilla Real de Grenade, datant de la première moitié du XVIe siècle et qui, à l’instar de notre tableau, a dû circuler sur le marché anversois vers 1520.

Nous tenons à remercier Peter van den Brink d’avoir rapproché notre tableau du triptyque de la Lamentation du maître du Saint-Sang sur base d'un examen visuel de l'oeuvre.
