The Saint Anne Altarpiece by Gerard David

January 26-May 10, 1992

Overview: This focus exhibition of The Saint Anne Altarpiece by Gerard David featured 3 panels belonging to the National Gallery and 6 smaller panels that were loans from the National Galleries of Scotland and the Toledo Museum of Art. The smaller panels are generally agreed to be part of the original altarpiece. Also on view were photographs of hypothetical reconstructions of the panels, and infrared reflectography of the underdrawings of those in the National Gallery.

The panels of the triptych were restored prior to the exhibition by Cathy A. Metzger, conservator for the systematic catalogue, National Gallery of Art. The exhibition curator was John Hand, curator of northern Renaissance paintings at the National Gallery.
