Antwerpener Meister von 1518 (tätig im ersten Viertel des 16. Jhs.)
The Angel Appears to Joseph in his Dream ; Joseph's Return to Mary, 1518
Mischtechnik on Eichenholz; Höhe: 46 cm; Breite: 40,2 cm;
The two panels depicting the vision of Joseph and his return to Mary are part of the predella interior of the 1518 altarpiece dedicated to the Life of the Virgin in the church of St. Mary's in Lübeck. Both panels are based on the account in the Gospel of Matthew and its later embellishments which speak of Joseph's doubts about his wife's pregnancy and his decision to leave her. However, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in his dream and told him to desist so that God's plan could be fulfilled.
