Apart from early French statues and medieval German aquamanilia, room 0.2 offers amazing Italian panel paintings from the 12th-14th Century.

Maria Magdalena
Carlo Crivelli
It is the largest painting in the room, 152 cm. high, full-length; it feels as if you are standing next to a gorgeous Venetian courtisane.

De geseling van Christus
Luca di Tommè
The face of Christ is in front of the pillar, but His golden halo is behind the pillar, that seems to separate Him from that circle of light

Christus aan het kruis, met Maria…

Above: a mother with her baby son. Below: same mother with her dead son, 33. So was it all in vain? Nothing could be further from the truth.

Sint-Nicolaas redt een gehangene
Zanobi di Jacopo Machiavelli
I hate to break the news: this is not ‘the real real Santa’ (Bishop of Myra) but Nicholas of Tolentino. But he was named after Saint Nick.

Het martelaarschap van…

The Holy Face on the Veil of Veronica sometimes reminds me of Walter Benjamin: The work of art in the age... Too irreverent?

Maria
Lorenzo di Niccolò
Because Gabriel has been disaggregated from this piece, one gets the impression that it is the dove delivering the happy news to Mary..
