Polyptych of Lusina
Late-Gothic retable, polyptych embellished with paintings and bas-reliefs / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Polyptych of Lusina (Polish: Poliptyk z Lusiny, German: Polyptychon aus Lusina), late-Gothic retable, polyptych embellished with paintings and bas-reliefs, created at an unknown workshop in all likelihood located in Lesser Poland (or Galicia), c. 1510.[1] The retable originally featured three views, visible upon opening successive pairs of wings. Mühlmann’s Office requisitioned inner wings and polyptych shrine cabinet in 1940, the artwork having been deposited with the National Museum in Kraków.[2][3][4][5] After World War II, the Museum recovered the wings only, the main shrine cabinet with its “Holy Family” bas-relief and bas-relief wing section depicting a scene from the “The Legend of Saint Theophilus of Adana” missing. Both retable sections have been listed in the “Catalogue of Wartime Losses” as No. 409.[6]
