The Seven Works of Mercy (detail), 1504

Master of Alkmaar (active 1490-1510)

A Dutch city is the backdrop to this narrative that shows how a good Christian
should help those in need. The work was badly damaged during the iconoclasm of
1566 when Roman Catholic churches were vandalised by Protestants. Rijksmuseum
