Saint Michael; The Mass of Saint Gregory; Saint Jerome

Master of the Saint Catherine Legend Netherlandish

Not on view

This diminutive panel comes from a group attributed to an artist now known as the Master of the Saint Catherine Legend, who worked in Brussels. It once formed part of a larger ensemble, much of which is lost today. In this scene, the figure of Christ miraculously appears on the altar table, surrounded by the implements used to torture him. The painting gives a sense of how late medieval Christians worshipped and interacted with sacred images as they attempted to visualize religious experiences.
