About Artwork: (About 1540) "A youthful Saint John the Evangelist supports a grey-faced and anguished Virgin Mary. This is one of two shutters from a triptych (a painting made up of three sections), which presumably flanked an image of the suffering Christ. The back is painted too, and shows a bishop holding an open book, standing above a shield with a coat of arms. Two keys hang from a cord on his left wrist. Aside from the shield beneath his feet, everything is rendered in tones of black, grey and white. The bishop’s identity remains uncertain, though he may be Saint Peter, to whom Christ metaphorically gave the keys of the kingdom of heaven. The Virgin must have looked as if she was kneeling on the original frame, as did the donor in the other panel. The current frames are old but not original: they seem to have been replaced, for unknown reasons, while the shutters were still attached to the central panel." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
