Panel originally painted on both sides, from Aranyosmarót. Detail of a movable wing of an altarpiece
1460-1470
Pine, tempera
Twelve-Year-Old Jesus in the Temple
Inv. 55.23
106 x 56 (painted surface), 115 x 65 (with frame)
The scene showing Twelve-Year-Old Jesus in the Temple was the verso of a two-sided panel painting, and originally occupied the outer, workday side of a wing of a winged altarpiece. The two images were sawed apart; the former feast-day side of the panel displayed the Adoration of the Magi (55.22).
Provenance:
The panel was purchased along with its sawed-off reverse showing the Twelve-Year-Old Jesus in the Temple and two other panels (55.20/55.21) for 1000 gold crowns by Prince Primate János Csernoch (cf. the registry of the office of the archbishop) from the Roman Catholic parish of Aranyosmarót between 1913 and 1916. Before 1911, the four panels hung in the parish of Aranyosmarót. They may very well have come from the private collection of Kristóf Migazzi after Migazzi purchased them and other works in the environs of Vienna.
Restoration:
Walter Madarassy and Szilvia Hernády (Adoration of the Magi), 1985.
