The 15th- or early 16th-century panels presented here are mostly from
northern Europe, or at least within the zone of Netherlandish influence
rather than Italian. They are all almost unknown, and certainly none of
them have been subjected to modern techniques of
investigation--infrared, x-ray, micro-photography. What is important is
their quality, even if some are difficult to attribute or can be
associated only with other works by this or that 'master of'.
