A large rare carved oak fragment depicting The Resurrection and Ascension of Christ15th or early 16th century, Probably from a reredos screen or an elaborate pew endOf arched form, the pitched cornice mounted to one side with a kneeling figure above a gothic crocketed finial, the whole relief carved in the round with Christ ascending into stylised clouds above a figural group of six praying disciples, likely to include Peter, John and Mary Magdalene above a figure of Christ emerging from the tomb with his right hand raised standing over three sleeping soldiers, within open arched niches, later mounted on a patinated metal plinth base, 47cm wide, 11cm deep, 158cm high (18 1/2in wide, 4in deep, 62in high) height including plinth: 174cmFootnotes:ProvenanceWith Joanne Booth Antiques, London, where acquired by the present owner, 17 December 1993.Resurrection panels were a popular theme from the 15th century onwards, perhaps in part due to their link with the well known mystery plays that were performed to celebrate Easter. The unusual iconography featuring Christ stepping over a soldier seen in the present panel and in numerous other examples may have been influenced by such a play. One of the scenes in a known mystery play includes the following stage direction 'Jesus rising, crushes the soldier with his foot'.In the upper part of the panel, The Ascension is depicted with Christ's legs ascending into the clouds, a variation that became popular in Romanesque and Anglo-Saxon depictions of the Ascension across Northern Europe. Examples can be found in both paintings and sculpture and related examples in both disciplines include a carved alabaster relief of The Ascension executed in circa 1400 at the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in Glasgow and The Flemish school scenes from the Life of Christ, The Ascension held at Campion Hall, University of Oxford.It is also possible that the sculptor of the above lot took inspiration from Albrecht Dürer's (1471-1528) impressions of The Resurrection and The Ascension from the Small Passion, a series of 37 woodcuts executed in circa 1510. In plate thirteen, Christ is seen standing in front of the closed tomb, holding in his left hand a flag, blessing with his right hand with the guards sleeping in the foreground. In Dürer's plate depicting the Ascension of Christ, an empty tomb is surrounded by the apostles and the Virgin looking upwards to a cloud with Christ's legs visible.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
