DUTCH MASTER
17th C.
Title: The Wonder of Haarlem.
Monk and nun.
Technique: Oil on canvas.
Mounting: Relined.
Measurement: 106 x 83cm.
Frame/Pedestal: Framed.
Provenance:
Private ownership, Germany.
A possible interpretation of the depiction refers to the legend that a nun in Haarlem was accused of a secret pregnancy. The monk who was charged with the investigation palpated the woman's breast; but instead of milk, wine flowed, proving the nun's virgin and pious life.
The painting shown here dates back to the laterally reversed depiction by Cornelisz van Haarlem from 1591, which is now exhibited in the Frans-Hals Museum in Haarlem.
