The Last Judgment; The Virgin and Child with a Bishop-Saint and Saint Peter Martyr; The Crucifixion; The Glorification of Saint Thomas Aquinas; The Nativity ca. 1325 Master of the Dominican Effigies Italian One of the principal Florentine manuscript illuminators during the second quarter of the fourteenth century, the anonymous artist known as the Master of the Dominican Effigies, like many of his contemporaries, was also active as a painter. He was named after a panel depicting Christ and the Virgin with Seventeen Dominican Saints, in the Chuch of Santa Maria Novella, Florence. The Lehman panel exemplifies the artist's emphasis upon lively narrative and decorative detail, executed in reduced form, highlighting his tendencies as a miniaturist. This panel likely formed the center of a small folding tabernacle (whose flanking wings have been lost), intended for private devotion. The scene at the lower left depicting the Dominican theologian Saint Thomas Aquinas was unprecedented in Flore

Pentecost from a set of The Passion 1592 Design based on a woodcut by Hans Schäufelein German With subtlety and dexterity, this tapestry's weavers- who apparently used the monograms AR and ICM- borrowed, enlarged, reversed, and added color to Hans Schäufeleins design for the Pentecost woodcut in Ulrich Pinders Speculum Passionis, published in 1507.This panel is part of a group of similarly sized scenes from the New Testament, woven across more than two decades, all closely based upon printed prototypes by Albrecht Dürer, Hans Baldung Grien, Martin Schongauer and Hans Wechtlin, as well as by Schäufelein. Together with other surviving tapestry panels now in the Museum Haus Löwenberg in Gengenbach and spread across private collections, these small, captioned Biblical scenes were probably made on speculation for sale to Protestant individuals and religious institutions in the Strasburg area around the turn of the seventeenth century..
