Panel with the Visitation early 16th century French Until 1950 this panel lined the Great Hall of Highcliffe Castle in southern England. Constructed in the 1830s for Lord Stuart de Rothesay, the castle was furnished in part with stonework acquired form the ruined royal abbey at Jumièges in Normandy, where the panels might also have originated. In all likelihood they once decorated the backs of choir stalls ordered in 1501 by the abbot of Jumièges. Carved on The Cloisters' thirty-five oak panels (50.147.1-38) are scenes from the lives of the Virgin and Christ, each set under an elaborate canopy of single or double arches. The exuberant latticework surrounding the arches provides an almost encyclopedic display of pinnacles, crockets, spirals and other fanciful decorations. As in many late medieval works, the figures are foreshortened within their inhabited surroundings, adding depth and drama to the composition.. Panel with the Visitation 471366

Relief of Saint Lawrence Presenting the Poor ca. 1490 Master of the Sonnenberg-Künigl Altar Austrian St. Lawrence is portrayed presenting the poor as the true wealth of the Church. This panel and another in Munich come from a large now-dismantled altarpiece dedicated to the saint. The anonymous master of this work is named after another altarpiece commissioned by the abbess Barbara Künigl for the convent church at Sonnenberg. He appears to have been a pupil of Michael Pacher, the leading Tirolean painter and sculptor of the period, and to have been active in Bruneck, in the South Tirol..

The Portrait of the Four Tetrarchs (A group of four Roman emperors), on the facade of San Marco in Venice, Italy. The Roman Empire was for a time after 293 ruled by a tetrarchy (a group of four rulers), instituted by Emperor Diocletian. The tetrarchy consisted of two Augusti (senior emperors) and two Caesars (younger emperors). The empire was territorially divided into western and eastern halves, with a senior and a junior emperor in each half. After Diocletian and his colleague, Maximian, retired in 305, internal strife erupted among the tetrarchs. The system finally ceased to exist around 313.
