Left wing of St. Laurenz triptych - 6 Apostles and the donor Gerhard von Wesel (1443-1510) with his third wife Adelheid Bischof

Characterized by bright, flat colors and the absence of shading, the work reflects a stylistic approach common to the period. Three apostles hold staffs, while one grasps a small, unidentified object. Winged figures hover above, set against a blue sky.

Created in 1465, the painting is now part of the collection at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. Originally part of the St. Laurenz triptych, its current location reflects its preservation and exhibition as a significant religious artwork of its time.

Derick Baegert's style, as seen in this work, can be contextualized within the broader artistic trends of the 15th century. Comparison with contemporaries reveals the nuances of his technique and the evolution of religious art during this period.

As a preserved component of the St. Laurenz triptych, this painting contributes to the understanding of 15th-century religious art patronage and the artistic practices of the time, offering insights into the role of donors in sacred artworks.
