Mary, Joseph and three angels c. 1475 - 1477

Adriaen van Wesel's "Mary, Joseph, and three angels," carved in the 1470s, depicts a moving moment of quiet devotion. The sculpture features Mary and Joseph surrounded by three angelic musicians, creating a harmonious scene. The detailed carving of the figures, their clothing, and the instruments contributes to the overall sense of realism and beauty. The piece is a fine example of the artist's mastery of wood carving, showcasing his keen attention to detail, expressive figures, and mastery of the Late Gothic style. The sculpture is now on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
