| Keywords: French - Deposition and Flagellation - Walters 71122.jpg The upper scene is the Deposition from the Cross the lower one the Flagellation of Christ The scenes are placed below moldings with rosette decoration the sides and the lower border are roped The openness of the compositions and the relative scale of the figures give this small panel a monumental quality The panel belongs to the Rose Group and the scenes are rather comparale in treatment to though entirely different in detail from Walters 71 124 The Rose Group is complex while there is a general similarity in composition among the individual ivories there is a great variety of subjects and approaches It is questioned as well whether all the works in the group were made in the same area The insertion of a single element of landscape beneath the feet of one of Christ's tormentors in the Flagellation is unusual though landscape elements occur in Walters 71 124 and other Rose ivories No other examples have roped sides The panel has slight chipping at the hinges and the lower right corner 1st quarter 14th century Medieval ivory cm 11 6 6 9 accession number 71 122 12384 Léon Gruel Paris date and mode of acquisition unknown William T / Henry Walters Collection Baltimore date of acquisition unknown by purchase Walters Art Museum Henry Walters Acquired by William T or Henry Walters Transformations of the Court Style Gothic Art in Europe 1270-1330 Rhode Island School of Design Providence 1977 place of origin Paris France Walters Art Museum license Medieval ivory in the Walters Art Museum Art of France in the Walters Art Museum Media contributed by the Walters Art Museum needs category review | ||||
