Late Gothic Panels from the Collection of York Art Gallery: Predella-Wings from the Workshop of Hans Pleydenwurff

Summary/Abstract: The following article is a result of the research on continental European paintings in York Art Gallery, completed as a part of the project National Inventory of Continental European Paintings. Two late gothic panels, painted on both sides, were given to the York Art Gallery in 1957 by F.D. Lycett Green. They have been described as by Nuremberg School and dated back to the second half of the fifteenth century. The known provenance goes back to the collection of Louis Breitmeyer, whose sale at Christie's, Manson & Woods in London on 27th June 1930 included the panels. They were later sold at an anonymous sale again at Christie's, Manson & Woods in London on 15th July 1955 (lot 108), as by Master of Liesborn. In 1956 the panels were with the Arcade Gallery in London, from where they were purchased by F.D. Lycett Green in 1957 and given by him to the Art Gallery in York through the National Art Collections Fund.
