Interior, right wing: St. Dorothy, detail ; Exterior wings: Adam and Eve, Malvagna family coat of arms, Interior: Virgin and Child with Musical Angels and Sts. Catherine and Dorothy. The Malvagna Triptych, among Gossaert's most prized works, is his only surviving intact triptych. The patron may have been Antonio Siciliano, whose name suggests that he came from Sicily, where the altarpiece was known by about 1600. Siciliano could have acquired this work as well as The Doria Pamphilj Diptych when he came to the Low Countries on a diplomatic mission from Milan in 1513. Gossaert invented the composition, with its extraordinary High Gothic canopy over the Virgin and Child, added the loosely painted musical angels, and signed it on the step beneath the Virgin's throne. Recent technical examination, however, has shown that the Virgin and Child and the heads of the female saints were painted by Gerard David, the leading master in Bruges. This sort of collaboration between artists of equal stature was not uncommon at the time. (http://www.metmuseum.org)
