Adriaen Isenbrant, 1521 - The Life of the Virgin - fine art print

What does the original description of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art say about this artwork painted by Adriaen Isenbrant? (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

One of Adriaen Isenbrant’s earliest works, this small, portable triptych was intended for private devotion. Both the exterior and interior scenes were meant to engage the viewer in an empathic contemplation of the Life of the Virgin. The outside grisaille wings, which depict the Annunciation and Visitation under elaborately carved canopies, are executed in the fashionable Antwerp Mannerist style and reveal a knowledge of Albrecht Dürer's popular engravings. The more traditional interior panels, representing the Adoration of the Magi, the Nativity, and the Flight into Egypt, recall paintings by the celebrated Bruges artist Gerard David.
