Diptych with Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, Crucifixion, and Coronation of the Virgin
The piece is a large, hinged, carved wooden diptych, divided into four distinct panels (two on each side). Each panel features multiple figures arranged within pointed, gothic-style architectural niches or arches. The composition is highly narrative, depicting various scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary. The figures are arranged in a processional or grouping manner, filling the available space within the architectural framework.
The work is a high-relief carving, likely executed in wood. The style suggests a late Renaissance or early Baroque period, characterized by detailed drapery, expressive poses, and a strong adherence to religious iconography. The carving technique emphasizes depth and narrative complexity.
