EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning triptych, created by Cornelis Buys the Younger around 1540-1545, depicts the Lamentation of Christ at its center, surrounded by two inner wings featuring the male Donor with Saint Benedict on the left and the female Donor with Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia on the right. The central panel showcases the New Testament scene of the Descent from the Cross, where Christ's body is being taken down from the cross, while the mourning figures, including the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene, lament his death. The outer wings reveal the donors in prayer, seeking the intercession of the saints. Cornelis Buys the Younger, a prominent Dutch painter of the Renaissance period, masterfully employs oil on panel to bring the figures to life, capturing the emotion and depth of the moment. The rich colors and intricate details of the robes and facial expressions add to the overall impact of the piece. The triptych is a testament to the deep Christian faith of the time, with the donors seeking the protection and guidance of Saints Benedict and Elizabeth of Thuringia. The image of Christ's body, lifeless yet radiant, serves as a reminder of the Passion of Christ and the ultimate sacrifice he made for humanity. This triptych is a significant heritage piece, showcasing the artistic and religious heritage of the Low Countries during the 16th century. It is now a cherished addition to the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
