Provenance
Laurent Horny Collection (2018); heirs of Laurent Horny.
This altarpiece compartment is a singular work of genius from one of the most prominent pictorial workshops of the second half of the 14th century in Catalonia, run by the brothers Jaume and Pere Serra. Having belonged to the Laurent Horny collection for years, the work is now being publically revealed for the first time, and it does so accompanied by a study that attempts to shed light on its authorship and historical-artistic relevance in the context of 14th-century Catalan painting. The saga of the Serra brothers is, without any doubt whatsoever, the most important chapter in Gothic Catalan painting during the second half of the 14th century, and so the public uncovering of a previously unseen work by these painters is most certainly cause for celebration and for making further advances in research.
