This panel, carved in wood by Jan van Schayck, likely dates back to the early 16th century. It is one of several panels that originally adorned the organ case in the church of Saint Vitus in Naarden, Netherlands. The panel depicts a figure in ornate attire holding a sword and standing before a shield. The figure's pose and the intricate, Gothic-inspired architectural details suggest a strong connection to the late Medieval and early Renaissance styles.
Comments
These ten figures adorned the medieval organ in the church of Saint Vitus in Naarden. Each figure holds a weapon and a coat of arms on a strap. Some are dressed as knights with a breastplate and a helmet, others as princes or noblemen. They may represent the Counts of Holland. All the shields would have originally been painted.
