About this work
Adriaen van Wesel was one of the most important woodcarvers of the northern Netherlands, known far beyond his hometown of Utrecht. His work includes large altars for churches in Delft, Zwolle, ‘s Hertogenbosch and Utrecht. The majority of Van Wesel’s surviving work is preserved in the Rijksmuseum.
