Memorial Panel for Lubbert Bolle after 1398

"Memorial Panel for Lubbert Bolle" is a 15th-century oil-on-panel painting by Jan Gerritsz van Bronckhorst, located in the Rijksmuseum. The painting is a devotional work, depicting the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with a kneeling figure of Lubbert Bolle, a former priest, in prayer before them. This type of religious art, popular in the Netherlands during the 15th and 16th centuries, served as a reminder of the deceased and their connection to the divine. The painting is characterized by its simple, almost naive style, and the figures are depicted in a straightforward manner. The inscription below the figures provides information about Lubbert Bolle's life and death.
