The Burg Weiler Altar Triptych (Altarpiece with the Virgin and Child and Saints). Artist: Master of the Burg Weiler Altarpiece (German, Middle Rhineland, ca. 1470). Culture: German. Dimensions: central panel: 68 1/2 x 60 in. (174 x 152.4 cm); each wing; 68 1/2 x 26 in. (174 x 66 cm). Date: ca. 1470.This imposing and well-preserved altarpiece achieves monumentality through the modeling and scale of the major figures. The grouping of these figures in a frieze-like arrangement and the repeating patterns of the floor and background provide visual unity. The saints on either side of the Virgin are identified both by the inscriptions below and by their attributes. From left to right are SS. Jodokus, Wendel, Apollonia, Barbara, Catherine, Lawrence, Sebastian, and Maurice. A pair of angels hovers above while gently lowering an elaborate crown onto the Virgin's head. The outer panels represent St. Theodulus and martyrs of the Theban Legion, revealed when the altarpiece is closed. Museum: Metro
