Triptych Icon (Primary Title) Unknown (Artist) Date: 1670-1720 Culture: Ethiopian Category: Paintings Medium: Tempera on gesso-covered wood panels Collection: African Art Geography: Ethiopia, Gondar Dimensions: Overall (Left Panel): 15 3/4 × 4 13/16 × 11/16 in. (40.01 × 12.22 × 1.75 cm) Overall (Center Panel): 15 3/4 × 9 3/4 × 13/16 in. (40.01 × 24.77 × 2.06 cm) Overall (Right Panel): 15 13/16 × 4 9/16 × 11 in. (40.16 × 11.59 × 27.94 cm) Object Number: 2015.266 In this icon, the Madonna and Child are flanked by Archangels and surrounded by images of the Crucifixion and Resurrection, apostles, and equestrian images of Saint George (left) and Saint Theodore (right). The work was likely painted in or around the city of Gondar, established as the Ethiopian capital by Emperor Fasilides in the mid-17th century. The icon’s vibrant palette and the prominent and lively eyes are hallmarks of work from what is known as the first Gondar period, roughly 1670-1720. As objects of devotion, icons were constantly touched by the faithful seeking to absorb their mystical power by rubbing, tapping, and even scratching the surface. The loss of paint in certain areas is reveals the use of the icon in this way. The pose of the Madonna and Child follows format of the famous icon in Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome known as the Salus Populi Romani (The Salvation of the Roman People), believed to date from the 6th century and mythically supposed to have been painted from life by the apostle Luke. Prints reproducing that work were brought to Ethiopia in the late 16th century by Portuguese Jesuit missionaries during an “open” phase of the country. Although Fasiledes soon “closed” the borders and banished the Jesuits, the image-type was retained as a model for Ethiopian icon painting. Text from: www.vmfa.museum/piction/6027262-94796295

Triptych with the Passion of Christ Date:ca. 1475–85 Culture:South German Medium:Mother-of-pearl, gilt wood frame, silk backing, and tooled leather covering Dimensions:Overall (closed): 8 5/16 x 4 9/16 x 1 5/8 in. (21.2 x 11.6 x 4.2 cm) Overall (open): 8 3/8 x 9 7/16 x 7/8 in. (21.2 x 24 x 2.2 cm) wings: 8 3/8 x 2 3/16 x 5/8 in. (21.2 x 5.6 x 1.6 cm) Classification:Miscellaneous-Shell Credit Line:The Cloisters Collection, 2006 Accession Number:2006.249 This appears to be the only intact devotional triptych to survive that is decorated with mother-of-pearl plaques in openwork relief. By focusing on each scene, the owner would have been able to follow the narrative of the final moments leading up to the Crucifixion of Jesus. Curiously, the story begins in the second scene from the top at the left and proceeds clockwise. Above and below the central scene are symbols of the authors of the Gospels, and also images of Jesus and of Saint Michael slaying the dragon.

Triptych with the Coronation of the Virgin Ivory with gold and paint Carved in Germany (Cologne), about 1325-1350 Accession # 17.190.211 The stylistic character of the carving is consistent with contemporary Cologne representations of the Virgin and Child in other media, namely in glass painting and sculpture in wood and stone. In this rendering of a popular composition, an angel has just crowned Mary as Queen of Heaven. With considerable original paint intact, this triptych is one of the finest examples of ivory carving from Gothic Cologne. Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
