The Virgin from a Pentecost Scene and the Figure of Saint Martin

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

It is possible that the figure of the Virgin and the two seated apostles (the head of the figure behind is a medieval replacement) come from a panel representing the pentecost. The figure of Saint Martin came from another window dedicated to that saint.

The Museum's collection of medieval and Byzantine art is among the most comprehensive in the world. Displayed in both The Met Fifth Avenue and in the Museum's branch in northern Manhattan, The Met Cloisters, the collection encompasses the art of the Mediterranean and Europe from the fall of Rome in the fourth century to the beginning of the Renaissance in the early sixteenth century. It also includes pre-medieval European works of art created during the Bronze Age and early Iron Age.
