Frames and supports in 15th and 16th-century Southern Netherlandish painting

catalogue 670 2. Anonymous, Calvary with Family of Donors , early 16th century Bibliography: Verougstraete-Marcq and Van Schoute 1979, 44-48. Panel : four vertically butt-joined boards. Three times two dowels arranged symmetrically strengthen the joins. The panel is ± 0.6 cm thick. Uneven bevel around the panel; panel slotted into the groove of the frame before painting. The reverse is roughly planed. A modern slat has been inserted on the back at the bottom left. Modern buttons serve to consolidate the joins and cracks. Frame: four slotted joints, mitred at the front, cut square at the back. Originally, each joint was reinforced with two pegs, now partially removed. Traces of the old suspension system can be observed on the upper rail. The black colour is original; the moulding has been repainted in ochre on top of the original gilding, which is visible in some gaps.
