Jan Mandyn (Haarlem 1502 - gegen 1560 Antwerp)
Jan Mandyn (Haarlem 1502 - gegen 1560 Antwerp) Christ in Limbo, oil on wood, 72 x 101 cm, w/ frame, (Wo)€ 35.000 - 45.000 US $ 34.650 - 44.550 Jan Mandyn continues the tradition of Hieronymus Bosch and like him created many scenes set in hell. The figure of Christ descending into Limbo with redeemed sinners rising towards him can be found in comparable compositions in museums and priv. collections in London, Brussels, and Rotterdam; the present composition however is distinguished by its range and the dramatic quality of the hellish scenario.
