Summary/Abstract: The article looks at the initial pictorial programme of the Tallinn Holy Kinship altarpiece. The retable was probably created around 1500 at a Brussels' workshop and commissioned for one of Tallinn's town churches. The late medieval Flemish carved altarpieces only rarely depicted the Holy Kinship as the main scene.
