Description
Christ between the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, central of seven panels (see XOS 1121270) commissioned by the Holy Spirit brotherhood for St Laurence's church in Alkmaar, showing Corporal Works of Charity or how a good Christian should help those in need: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, bury the dead, shelter the traveller, comfort the sick, free the imprisoned.
The work was badly damaged during the Iconoclasm of 1566, when Roman Catholic churches were vandalized by Protestants.
