Description

A fine group of altarpieces in polychrome painted carved wood depicting the Entombment.
This precise, expressive work comes to us from Flanders (probably Antwerp), and takes us back to the 1500s. At that time, medieval statuary was at its height in the Netherlands. The main production centers for large altarpieces with narrative scenes were Brussels, Antwerp and Mechelen. Brussels, capital of the Burgundian empire, played an important artistic role from 1430 onwards, while Antwerp took over around 1500, becoming the main producer of altarpieces and religious sculptures. Antwerp sculptors and painters belonged to the same guild: the Guild of Saint Luke. The Guild facilitated their collaboration, but also imposed strict regulations on the quality of the wood used and the polychromy.

On the reverse, a paper label "BAS-RELIEF en bois sculpté: l'ensevelissement /XVIè siècle Vente Lesrel 23 mai 1907".
Height 38 cm, width 28 cm.

Provenance: Objets d'Art belonging to Monsieur Lesrel, Paul Chevalier, Drouot, May 23, 1907, lot 133.
Note chips and chips, general scratches. Some shrinkage cracks. Traces of old polychrome decoration. Traces of old woodworm.
A piece appraised by Madame Isabelle d'Amécourt.
