This late-medieval painter created the Legnica polyptych, a five-panel altarpiece from 1466. The left wing shows St. Henry, St. Nicholas, and St. Stephen on one side, and Christ’s temptation on the other; the right wing pairs St. Barbara, St. Catherine, and St. Dorothy with the story of the Samaritan woman. Flip the panels to see the Annunciation beside St. Lawrence or the Resurrection facing the Last Judgment—all painted in tempera.
