The Adoration of the Magi. Artist: Justus of Ghent (Joos van Wassenhove) (Netherlandish, active by 1460-died ca. 1480). Dimensions: 43 x 63 in. (109.2 x 160 cm). Date: ca. 1465.This Adoration (or Epiphany) is one of only two surviving works Justus of Ghent painted before going to Italy in 1469 to work for Federico da Montefeltro, duke of Urbino. Its composition may owe a debt to contemporary plays. Possibly commissioned for a convent near Burgos, Spain, the picture is painted on canvas and could thus be rolled for easy transport. The subdued tonality and matte surface are due to the gouachelike medium. An African magus (king) appears in Adorations beginning in the fifteenth century. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Marriage Panel of Gabriel Weydacher and his wife Juliana Wemis with the Virgin and Child and Saints Barbara and Catherine 1519 After a design by Leonhard Beck German This heraldic panel memorializes the marriage of Gabriel Weydacher and Juliana Wemis. In 1514 Weydacher became record keeper of the vast Schwaz (Tirol, Austria) silver mines, which were financed by the Fugger family of Augsburg and were the source of great wealth for the Emperor Maximilian I. Like many other Schwaz families, whose wealth and social status derived from the silver mines, Weydacher commemorated his union by donating this armorial panel to the glazed cloister of the local Franciscan monastery, where it was installed in the window in the northeast corner. Directly opposite the window was a large wall painting commissioned by Weydacher who appears as donor supporting a shield with his arms. A Franciscan context is further indicated by the central image of the Virgin and Child on a crescent moon in an aureole sur
