Flemish Masterpiece at Fogg

An important painting attributed to the Flemish painter, Roger van der Wey den (1400-1464), has been placed on exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum for a short time as an anonymous loan. The picture, which represents Christ appearing to Mary, is the right wing of a trip tych, the other two parts of which are now in the Cathedral of Granada. This is said to have been presented by Pope Martin V to King John II of Castille, passing afterwards to his son Henrique IV and afterwards to his daughter, Isabelle la Catholique, who be queathed it to the Cathedral of Granada.

The picture will remain on exhibition through Tuesday, January 19.
