Altarpiece of the Travellers to Scania

The altarpiece was located at the altar of St John the Baptist of St Mary’s Church in Lübeck, which belonged to the Brotherhood of Travellers to Scania (merchants who traded with this Swedish, then Danish province). Only the outer wings of the altarpiece and some carved details remain; the retable and sculptures have been lost. The wings are on display at St Anne’s Museum (St. Annen-Museum) in Lübeck. The God the Father of the Holy Trinity scene resembles the emperor of the Danse Macabre in Tallinn.
