Crucifixion triptych (formerly known as the Estouteville Triptych) (right wing), c.1374 (tempera on panel)

Detail of COU65734. This is one of the few surviving fourteenth-century triptychs from Northern Europe. The main panel shows the Crucifixion, above scenes of Christ washing the Apostles’ feet, the Agony in the Garden and the Resurrection. The wings show further biblical stories, and the Death of the Virgin. The small scale of the individual scenes recalls manuscript illumination. The presence of three Franciscan saints, including Francis himself (shown preaching to the birds) suggests a connection with this monastic order. The Annunciation, The Adoration of the Magi, Circumcision (left panel); The Crucifixion, Washing of Christ's Feet, Praying in the Garden, Christ rising from the Tomb (centre panel); The Ascension, Christ reveals himself to the Disciples, The Death of the Virgin (right panel)
