The Passion Altarpiece. Outer Wing with the Virgin Mary and Apostle James the Greater

Four saints are standing on the closed wings of the altarpiece: the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, Apostle James the Greater, St Adrian and St Anthony the Great. These re-paintings date back to approximately 1520, as the wings originally depicted four Franciscan saints. An earlier image was partly used in painting the Virgin Mary. She is handing a white rose to the Christ Child – a symbol of virginity and paradise, marking the unity of Christ and the church, mother and son.
