About this work

This painting is a triptych, with two side panels and a central panel. The central panel shows a group of people gathered around a body lying on a green cloth, with a dark blue background. The left panel depicts a woman in a red dress holding a palm frond and a lamb, while the right panel shows a man in a red robe and mitre holding a staff. The painting is rich in detail, with intricate folds in the clothing and subtle expressions on the faces. The use of gold leaf adds a sense of luxury and importance to the scene. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure.
