Clan Altar, Central Panel: The Mystical Marriage of St. Catherine to the Jesus Boy

Altar of the Family of Mary – a late gothic altar retabulum probably coming from the church of St. Achace (St. Achatius Kirche) in Cologne, which was once part of the convent of the Dominican Sisters, which has not been preserved to this day. Painted around 1505–10, by an anonymous artist referred to as the Family Master of Mary the Younger. Currently in the collection of the Cologne Wallraf-Richartz-Museum. A valuable example of Gothic panel painting revealing the influence of works painted by representatives of the younger generation of Dutch primitivists active at the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
