I'm straight off getting picky on correctness.

The get-go ii answers from Speedy Sue in addition to Irene were almost correct/complete but non quite.

In fact, the get-go absolutely correct/complete reply came from Jean-Baptiste Pelardon who also spotted the fact that it was that odd format - the polyptych - in addition to was NOT painted inwards its entirety past times the early on Flemish painter Rogier van der Weyden who, along amongst Jan van Eyck, was 1 of the most celebrated painters inwards Europe of his generation!

For a long fourth dimension this prototype was housed inwards a nunnery inwards Segovia.  It hence did the rounds of the ancestral homes of tyke nobility inwards the UK earlier arriving at the sale rooms of Thomas Agnew from where it went to alive inwards New York at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Here's what the Metropolitan Museum of Art has to tell nearly it
The cardinal panel of this altarpiece represents the Nativity, flanked on the left past times the annunciation of the Tiburtine Sibyl to the emperor Augustus, in addition to on the right past times the Annunciation to the Magi amongst a farther scene inwards the background of the Magi bathing at Mount Victorial. The wings clit the Visitation in addition to the Adoration of the Magi, looking on from higher upwards surrounded past times angels, is God the Father. The proclamation of Christ's coming to Augustus in addition to to the Three Kings were events idea to convey occurred at the minute of Christ's birth. This dual annunciation to the rulers of the West in addition to East demonstrates the universal significance of the Incarnation in addition to the Supremacy of Christ over all earthly realms. The middle panel to a greater extent than oftentimes than non follows the composition of a triptych straight off inwards Berlin devoted to the same subjects in addition to painted nearly 1445 past times Rogier van der Weyden for Pierre Bladelin, treasurer to the Burgundian dukes. Two of the small-scale outer wings were removed in addition to are straight off inwards individual collection.

Others who got the reply right are:

  • Sue Smith - who idea it was past times Rogier van der Weyden
  • Irene - whose explanation of how she got to it was only piddling also lightweight for me.  I similar them amongst a chip to a greater extent than meat on the bones.
  • magificolm
  • Colours in addition to Textures
