About Artwork: (Late 1480s) "This was once the left wing of a triptych (a painting made up of three sections) which showed a man and woman with their patron saints on either side of an image of the Virgin and Christ Child. Here, Saint Clement stands behind a man, presumably the male donor who paid for the triptych. The anchor in the saint’s hand is his attribute: he was martyred by being thrown into the Black Sea tied to an anchor. The other wing shows Saint Elizabeth with the woman. We don‘t know who the donors are, but they were presumably married and were probably named after their patron saints. The writing on the frame of our painting is a contraction of a Latin phrase and prayer to the Virgin and Child: ’May our faith let us feel that you are pleading our cause.' The painting is now obscured by discoloured varnish – you can notice this especially on the faces – and has been much repainted, apparently during a restoration at the end of the nineteenth century." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
