A look back – Johannes Taubert and the investigation of the Miraflores Altarpiece

right panel of the Miraflores Altarpiece (fig. 1),

The history of research on the Miraflores Altarpiece is a most peculiar one. For more than a century, it was judged to be a copy after Rogier van der Weyden, while a second version, the Granada–New York Altarpiece, was regarded as the original. Both connoisseurship and technical investigation seemed to corroborate this until the contrary was proved in 1981. In the history of technical research on the altarpiece, Johannes Taubert played an instructive role, particularly concerning the relationship of connoisseurship to technical research and the conclusions drawn from it. This article examines that role and offers some thoughts about its implications for future research.
