Two Panels from Civil Architecture: Treason of Judas and the Miracle of St. Nicolas?
(19.9 x 12.5 cm. and 20.1 x 12.3 cm.)
France, School of Provence, Avignon?, first quarter of the 16th century
These two rectangular civil panels constitute elements of larger compositions. One panel illustrates the Treason of Judas; he receives the purse with the thirty pieces of silver in front of a group of nimbed apostles. The other panel illustrates a horse and charioteer in front of a group of seated spectators; this might be the right side of a scene of the story of the debtor of bad faith, which is one of the miracles from the life of Saint Nicolas. The figures are of remarkably high quality, and the panels appear to be of Provençal origin, although it is difficult to localize their curious style.
