Two Wings from the So-Called Salamanca Triptych: Exterior wings: left, the Angel Gabriel and right, Virgin Mary
Exterior wings: left, the Angel Gabriel and right, Virgin Mary ; Exterior: Annunciation, Interior: Saint John the Baptist, Saint Peter. Although these wings were found in the Salamanca chapel at the Church of the Augustinians in Bruges, possibly by 1609 and certainly by 1641, there is no firm evidence that they were made for that chapel or commissioned by Pedro de Salamanca.

Exterior wings: left, the Angel Gabriel and right, Virgin Mary ; Exterior: Annunciation, Interior: Saint John the Baptist, Saint Peter. Although these wings were found in the Salamanca chapel at the Church of the Augustinians in Bruges, possibly by 1609 and certainly by 1641, there is no firm evidence that they were made for that chapel or commissioned by Pedro de Salamanca. Furthermore, recent review of the documents associated with these paintings indicates that they did not originally belong with the Deposition in an altarpiece known as The Salamanca Triptych, as supported by differences in the style, dating, and state of preservation. Although the centerpiece that went with the Toledo wings was likely a scene from the Passion, it could have been a sculpture instead of a painting. These wings are remarkable for the striking contrast of late High Gothic style in the Annunciation and the Italian Renaissance mode for the interior settings for the saints. Gossaert specialized in the simultaneous depiction of these two styles throughout his career, a feature of his work that appealed to his patrons. The figures are sculptural to a degree unprecedented in early Netherlandish painting. (http://www.metmuseum.org)
