Abstract

220 Oud Holland Jaargang/Volume 123 - 2010 Nr. 3/4 In the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig there is a sixteenth-century panel depicting The Institution of the Rosary . The style of the figures and the way in which different moments from the story are distributed organically over the picture surface suggest that it is a copy after a lost work that Geertgen tot Sint Jans painted for the Haarlem Confraternity of the Rosary (fig. 1). 1 The left half shows the Virgin appear- ing to the kneeling St Dominic, who is receiving the rosary from the Christ Child. The door in the left background opens onto a room in which the bare-chested St Dominic is kneeling before a crucifix with a rosary in his hand. The right half of the painting shows the dissemination of the rosary. In the foreground, St Dominic accompanied by another friar is presenting a rosary to Queen Blanche of Castile. He is preaching its use from a pulpit in the background. Kl ar a H. B roek huijsen The Institution of the Rosary.
