medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Diana
I think it is part of an altarpiece from the workshop of Master Bertram, c.1410, called the Buxtehude altarpiece - if you do a google search with that word you may find it as I did a few years ago on a web gallery of art. It is illustrated in Gertrude Schiller's Iconography of Christian Art (London: Lund Humphries, 1966) and I think possibly in Gail McMurray Gibson's Theatre of Devotion: East Anglian Drama and Society in the Later Middle Ages (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1994). Similar images of the knitting Madonna are illustrated by Robert Gibbs in his book on Tomaso da Modena (Cambridge: CUP, 1989).

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
My daughter showed me in her knitting book a small b&w image of the Virgin knitting a shirt. It is apparently 15thC & in the Hamburger Kunsthalle, but I can't find it on their website, or on the web generally. Is anyone familiar with this picture or does anyone know where I could fnd it on the web.
