The Master’s panel portraying the legend of St Mary Magdalene was intended for a living room or bedroom. As in the four-lobed medallion, the panel and frame are carved out of a single piece of oak. A great many devotional works like this were produced and put on the market in the fifteenth century. The artists who painted them often used existing compositions. The one we see here is taken from Rogier van der Weyden.
