The Centurion and Two Soldiers, from a Crucifixion Group

Unknown

ca. 1340–50 · Marble, gilding · Medieval Art

Said to have come from the collegiate church of Notre-Dame at Huy in Belgium, these figures were probably part of a large sculptural retable behind the altar. They are stylistically related to the marble Virgin and Child (see 24.215), ordered in 1345 for the church of Saint Catherine at Diest, Belgium.
