Třeboň Altarpiece

Třeboň Altarpiece Resurrection | Europeana

The panel, painted on both sides, was formerly a part of a large winged altarpiece, of which three paintings have survived on the folding wings. Groupings of three male and female saints with their characteristic attributes are featured against a gilded background on the insides of the wings, visible when open. The outer panels reveal scenes from the Passion of Jesus Christ (Christ on the Mount of Olives, The Entombment and The Resurrection). The paintings of the Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece are regarded as the beginning of the Beautiful Style – a specific Central European variant of the International Style. The panel painting comes from the prominent Augustinian monastery‘s Church of St Giles in Třeboň (South Bohemia).
