## Commentary

This painting was originally the interior side of a double-sided panel which was later separated in two. The exterior side depicts St Adalbert and St Procopius. The altarpiece to which the panels belonged comprised an unknown number of paintings depicting scenes from the life of St Wenceslas \(c. 907-935\), Bohemian duke of the Premyslid dynasty. Two others, depicting saints are in a private collection. The panels of paired saints formed the exterior wings of the altarpiece, while the narrative episodes from the saint&#39;s life were on the interior.
