Tryptyk z Almazán. Uwagi na temat nowo odkrytego dzieła Hansa Memlinga

Abstrakt

In 2003 in a Spanish town of Almazán, a long time forgotten pieces of art of Hans Memling have been discovered, examined and described by prof. Anna Muntada Torrellas of Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. The authorship of the paintings has been confirmed by Spanish and Belgian experts in history of art.

The article briefly presents available information concerning the work of art, it’s condition and iconography. Analysis based on comparison of the Triptych of Almazán with earlier works of the artist helps to follow the attribution process and suggests the probable iconography of the lost, central table of the triptych. Furthermore it unveils possible reasons of its appearance in Castile in 1490. The wings of the triptych remained uninterrupted in Almazán until today leaving the 11th century city walls only twice: to attend the annual exhibition of the cultural heritage of Castile-León region (2009) and to take part in the monographic Memling’s exhibition at the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome at the turn of 2014 and 2015.
