Triptych c. 1500 - 1530

Adam Dircksz’s Triptych, dating back to 1500-1530, is a detailed, wooden triptych depicting the Virgin Mary and Child, surrounded by angels and figures. This small-scale, portable altar piece would have been a devotional object for private use, highlighting the deep religious fervor of the time. The intricately carved details, like the Gothic-style arches and the delicate rays emanating from Mary’s head, showcase Dircksz’s mastery of wood carving. The triptych, with its rich iconography, provides insights into religious practices and artistic sensibilities of the early 16th century.
