## Artwork

- Artist: [COXCIE, Michiel van](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/coxcie-michiel-van-rb370eb609594dd>)
- Date: 1501-1550
- Technique: Panel

## Commentary

The panel is one of the wings of a triptych in the Mechelen Cathedral depicting the Martyrdom of St George. A remarkable detail about this triptych \(and another triptych in the same Cathedral depicting the Martyrdom of St Sebastian\) is the fact that the artist was well into his eighties when he created them.
