Comment

The Dresden Triptych, in German: Dresden Marienaltar, or Triptych Giustiniani, is a small triptych painted by the Flemish primitive painter Jan van Eyck around 1437. It is now on display at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden. Prior to Dresden, the work was part of the Jabach collection.

It depicts the Virgin and Child in the central panel, with St. Catherine in the right-hand panel and St. Michael and the donor in the left-hand panel. Judging by the coat of arms in the left-hand frame, the donor is a member of the Genoese Giustiniani family, possibly Michele Giustiniani. On the reverse of the panels, an Annunciation scene in grisaille.

A 1958 restoration on the border of the central panel revealed the painter's signature and the date 1437. (Source : www.wikipedia.org)

Le Triptyque de Dresde, en allemand : Dresden Marienaltar, ou Triptyque Giustiniani, est un petit triptyque réalisé par le peintre primitif flamand Jan van Eyck vers 1437. Il est exposé aujourd'hui au Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister de Dresde. Avant Dresde, l’œuvre faisait partie de la collection Jabach.

Il représente la Vierge à l'Enfant sur le panneau central, avec sainte Catherine sur le panneau de droite et saint Michel et le donateur sur le panneau de gauche. À en juger par les armoiries qui ornent l’encadrement de gauche, le donateur serait un membre de la famille génoise des Giustiniani, peut-être Michele Giustiniani. Sur le revers des panneaux, une scène de l'Annonciation en grisaille.

Sur la bordure du panneau central, une restauration effectuée en 1958 a révélé la signature du peintre et la date de 1437. (Source : www.wikipedia.org)

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it is part of a limited edition series of three coins, each depicting a different panel of the famous Dresden Triptych, a medieval altarpiece painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder. The triptych is considered a masterpiece of Renaissance art and is housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany. The coin series was issued by Tokelau, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean, in collaboration with New Zealand, where the coin was minted. The coin's design features a detailed representation of the central panel of the triptych, which depicts the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and art enthusiasts.
