Triptych: Centre panel: The Crucifixion with Saints and a donor. Left shutter: St. Jude and a donor. Right shutter: St. Catherine and a donor.

Bruyn, Bartholomaeus the Elder (1493-1555)

The centre panel of this triptych is painted in the striking style associated with Bruyn, in which Netherlandish elements dominate, especially in the treatment of the Crucifixion itself. The wings, however, appear to be treated rather differently, although, within the context of Bruyn’s work, in line with the contrast of style found in the Crucifixion Triptych, in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich.
