Mabuse
St. Luke Painting the Madonna
1520-25
Wood, 109,5 x 82 cm
Kunsthistorisches
Museum,
Vienna
"The scene was a
favourite
subject of the late Gothic German and Low Country masters. Mabuse
painted
two versions of it. This is the later one; the first is in Prague. A
remarkable
innovation of the second version is that the Madonna is not a sitter of
the portrait painting, she appears as a vision of St Luke."
