{"product_id":"triptych-with-saint-christopher-master-of-the-magdalen-legend","title":"Triptych with Saint Christopher - Master of the Magdalen Legend","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed Northern Renaissance triptych depicting Saint Christopher carrying the Christ Child, flanked by panels showing hermits and religious figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis triptych is a characteristic example of early sixteenth-century Netherlandish painting. The central panel depicts Saint Christopher wading through water, carrying the Christ Child upon his shoulders. The artist employs a narrative approach, incorporating various details such as ships in the background and a hermit observing from a rocky outcrop. The figure of the saint is rendered with a sense of movement, his red drapery caught in the wind as he navigates the river.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side panels expand the iconographic programme. The left wing shows a saint in contemplation before a crucifix, accompanied by a lion, while the right wing presents a hermit reading, surrounded by various figures and creatures in a rocky setting. The composition reflects the Northern Renaissance interest in combining religious subjects with precise, observational detail. The treatment of the water, the shells on the riverbank, and the distant architectural elements demonstrates the technical skill associated with the workshops of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Master of the Magdalen Legend is an anonymous painter active in Brussels during the early sixteenth century. The name derives from a series of panels depicting the life of Mary Magdalene. This triptych displays the stylistic traits of the group, including a specific approach to facial features and the integration of figures into expansive, detailed settings. The work provides insight into the devotional practices and artistic conventions of the time, where the inclusion of small, curious details often complemented the primary religious narrative. The use of oil on oak panel allows for the fine application of colour and the subtle transitions of light across the figures and the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/design-for-stained-glass-southeast-window-nave-paisley-abbey-scotland-edward-burne-jones\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDesign for Stained Glass, Southeast Window, Nave, Paisley Abbey, Scotland - Edward Burne-Jones — Edward Burne-Jones\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/love-is-enough-initial-letter-l-entwined-with-laurel-leaves-william-morris-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLove is Enough - Initial letter 'L' entwined with Laurel Leaves - William Morris — William Morris\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Master of the Legend of the Magdalene","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58704902979919,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58705072128335,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58705072161103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58705072193871,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58705072226639,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58705072259407,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58705072292175,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58705072324943,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58705072357711,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58705072390479,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58705072423247,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58705072456015,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Triptych-with-Saint-Christopher_Poster_CompositorV1_1788798281191.jpg?v=1788798622","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/triptych-with-saint-christopher-master-of-the-magdalen-legend","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
