"Donor with St. Nicholas and his Wife with St. Godelina" is a diptych by Jan Provoost, a prominent Flemish painter of the early 16th century. The work depicts a donor couple, kneeling in prayer, with their respective patron saints. The left panel shows the male donor with St. Nicholas, a bishop known for his generosity. In the background, a bustling cityscape suggests a port city. On the right panel, the female donor kneels with St. Godelina, a virgin and martyr. The diptych exemplifies Provoost’s mastery of detail and his talent for capturing the devotional spirit of the period. It is housed in the Groeningemuseum in Bruges, Belgium.
