This studio was responsible for another cycle with the legend of St Ursula in the St Ursula Church in Cologne, the so-called `large cycle', dated 1456. Both panels, which belong to a series of fifteen, may have been used as the lids or doors of a reliquary. It is one of the oldest known extensive Ursula cycles. Hans Memling clearly drew inspiration from these panels for similar scenes in his Ursula Shrine. , Artist: UNKNOWN MASTER, German , Scenes from the 'Small Ursula Cycle' , 1401-1450 , German , painting , religious |
