# Donor portraits [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [UNKNOWN MASTER, German]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on oak panel, 220 x 92 cm ## Commentary The wings of the altarpiece of the Lutheran Schlosskapelle in Celle depicts the donor portraits of Wilhelm the Younger, Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and his wife Dorothea of Denmark. The portraits belong to the campaign of refurbishment of the chapel carried out between 1565 and 1576, which is still preserved in largely original form. They stand out as stylistically distinct from the rest of the decoration, much of which was painted by Marten de Vos in Antwerp. From stylistic similarities it is suggested that the wings may have originated in the same workshop as the triptych Christ Blessing, Surrounded by a Donor Family in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. ## Related artworks - [12 scenes from the Life of Christ]() - [A Bath-House]() - [A carpenter at work]() - [A Knight of the Rehlinger Family]() - [A Lady]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Altarpiece of the Seven Joys of Mary]() - [Altarpiece of the Seven Joys of Mary]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
