PIETER I COECKE VAN AELST (1502-1550) (workshop) Triptych in oil on panel with central the Adoration of the Kings, on the left panel Balthazar and on the right panel Saint Joseph. Set in one frame. Restorations. The depiction is probably based on a composition by the Master from 1518 (identified as Jan van Dornicke), who was active in Antwerp between 1509 and 1527 and whose studio was taken over by his son-in-law, Pieter Coecke van Aelst after his death. The numerous versions that have been preserved of this composition recall the great production of the studio and the popularity of the theme, in which the exotic kings with their colourful garments and luxurious gifts must have been extremely appealing to the 16th century viewer. Very similar works, although with more elaborate backgrounds, have been attributed to both artists (e.g. Triptych, Utrecht, 104 x 64.5, 107.5 x 28.5, Museum Catharijneconvent, inv./cat.nr ABM s 56; triptych, Aachen, 107 x 69; 107 x 28.5, Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum, inv./cat.nr GK 314). Furthermore the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels holds a very similar central panel, attributed to Pieter Coecke van Aelst (105 x 72 cm, inv. No. 386). All these works date from the period 1520-1530. Dimensions: 106 x 70 (middenpaneel/panneau central); 106 x 30.5 (zijpaneel/panneau latéral) cm
