I'm instantly getting picky on correctness.

The commencement 2 answers from Speedy Sue together with Irene were almost correct/complete but non quite.

In fact, the commencement absolutely correct/complete reply came from Jean-Baptiste Pelardon who also spotted the fact that it was that odd format - the polyptych - together with was NOT painted inward its entirety past times the early on Flemish painter Rogier van der Weyden who, along alongside Jan van Eyck, was i of the most celebrated painters inward Europe of his generation!

For a long fourth dimension this epitome was housed inward a nunnery inward Segovia.  It thus did the rounds of the ancestral homes of tike nobility inward the Britain earlier arriving at the sale rooms of Thomas Agnew from where it went to alive inward New York at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Here's what the Metropolitan Museum of Art has to tell almost it
The key panel of this altarpiece represents the Nativity, flanked on the left past times the annunciation of the Tiburtine Sibyl to the emperor Augustus, together with on the right past times the Annunciation to the Magi alongside a farther scene inward the background of the Magi bathing at Mount Victorial. The wings line the Visitation together with the Adoration of the Magi, looking on from inward a higher identify surrounded past times angels, is God the Father. The proclamation of Christ's coming to Augustus together with to the Three Kings were events idea to bring occurred at the instant of Christ's birth. This dual annunciation to the rulers of the West together with East demonstrates the universal significance of the Incarnation together with the Supremacy of Christ over all earthly realms. The middle panel mostly follows the composition of a triptych instantly inward Berlin devoted to the same subjects together with painted almost 1445 past times Rogier van der Weyden for Pierre Bladelin, treasurer to the Burgundian dukes. Two of the minor outer wings were removed together with are instantly inward 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 simply footling also lightweight for me.  I similar them alongside a fleck to a greater extent than meat on the bones.
  • magificolm
  • Colours together with Textures
