Altarpiece, Alton Towers triptych. Germany, possibly Rhineland, or France, perhaps Lorraine, ca. 1150, formerly in the collection of the Earls of Shrewsbury at Alton Towers, Staffordshire. The theme of the Redemption is here illustrated by scenes from the New Testament on the central panel, which are complemented on the wings by scenes from the Old Testament, which were believed to prefigure them. In the central field there are six medallions identified by accompanying inscriptions as Sol, Luna and Karitas, Mare Terra and Justicia. Gilded copper with champlevé enamels; the enamelled panels remounted on the present wooden support in the 19th century, 36.2 x 44.7 x 11.8 cm. Inv. 4757-1858.
