Triptych Panel with Pietá
Master of the Triptych of Louis XII
The central panel is from a triptych with wings depicting Saint Catherine and Saint Sebastian. The scene of the dead Christ outstretched on the knees of his mother was probably based on a panel painting of the fifteenth-century Avignon school, such as the Pietà of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.
