Object history

Listed as 'As She Appeared to Our Lady Alone in the Morning' in the 1505 estate sale of Isabella I of Castile’s possessions in Toro, it was acquired along with nine other panels from the collection by Francisca Enríquez, Marchioness of Denia. It was located in Cologne and Berlin, where Eduard Simon sold it to the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in 1929. It remained in the Staatliche Museen, East Berlin, from 1949 until it transferred to the Staatliche Museen Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, in 1997.

Description

This painting is part of the Polyptych of Isabella I of Castile, which originally consisted of forty-seven small-format panels. It depicts the moment when Christ has risen and appears before his mother, Mary, to deliver the news. Juan de Flandes' Flemish training is evident in the meticulous detail of the landscape, the treatment of the attire, and the conception of space.

* The relative location of dealers, antique shops, art galleries, and collectors leads us to the places where they were based or had one of their main headquarters. However, this does not always indicate that every artwork that passed through their hands was physically located there. In the case of antique dealers and art merchants, their business often extended across multiple territories; sometimes they would purchase items at their origin and send them directly to clients. Similarly, some collectors owned multiple residences, sometimes in different countries, where they housed their collections. It is often difficult to determine exactly where a specific piece was kept during its time in their possession. Consequently, the main location of the dealer or collector is indicated. These factors should be considered when interpreting the map. Refer to the object's history in each case.
