# Two Wings from a Triptych \(exterior\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GOSSART, Jan]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on panel, 120 x 47 cm \(each wing\) ## Commentary These wings representing the Annunciation on the exterior and Sts John the Baptist and Peter on the interior belonged to a triptych. Although the panels are recorded by 1641 in the chapel devoted to the Virgin of the Pietà founded by Pedro Salamanca in the Augustinian church in Bruges, there is no irrefutable evidence that Salamanca commissioned them from Gossart or for this chapel. The central panel of the triptych is lost, its theme is not known. The missing piece could be even a sculpted corpus instead of a painting. The signed and dated altarpiece wings are remarkable for their striking contrast of the late High Gothic mode with the Italian Renaissance style of architecture. ## Related artworks - [A Grotesque with Two Sirens]() - [A Man Holding a Glove]() - [A Reliquary]() - [A Women's Bath]() - [Adam Accuses Eve before God]() - [Adam and Eve \(detail\)]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Agony in the Garden \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
