Linked to the thirteenth century devotional text Meditationes Vitae Christi, visual representations of the Resurrected Christ Appearing to His Mother appear in Italian manuscripts, either of the Meditationes itself or in other devotional treatises around 1300. The epitome of the motif, however, is probably the depiction in the right panel of the Miraflores Triptych, painted by Rogier van der Weyden in Bruges in the 1440s. Previously virtually unnoticed in art historical scholarship, the motif re-appears in Netherlandish carved altarpieces made c.1480–1530. The earliest occurrence seems to be in the form of a minor sculpted scene in the Brussels altarpieces now known as Strängnäs I, yet its more common inclusion is as a painted scene on the inside of the small upper wing to the viewer’s right. Without dismissing the effects of patronage, commissions and the circulation of models, I will argue for the inclusion as partly resulting from artists’ increased partaking in religious reading due to the dissemination of Vita Christi literature in the Netherlands. As it were, however, the motif appears proportionally more frequent in the altarpieces imported to Scandinavia than elsewhere, allowing for discussions about the iconographical program in altarpieces made for export and the possibility of the appreciation of the scene in the north is to be traced not to Vita Christi-literature in general, but to the encounter between mother and son as referenced in the visions of St Birgitta.

复活的基督出现在中世纪后期荷兰祭坛上的母亲面前

与十三世纪灵修经文冥想维塔·克里斯蒂（Vitae Christi）相关联，出现在意大利手稿中的复活基督的视觉表现形式出现在意大利手稿中，无论是冥想本身还是其他约1300年的灵修论文中。但是，母题的缩影可能是罗弗尔​​·范·德·韦登（Rogier van der Weyden）在1440年代在布鲁日（Bruges）绘制的米拉弗洛雷斯三联画（Miraflores Triptych）右面板上的绘画。以前在艺术史研究中几乎没有被注意到，该图案重新出现在约1480年至1530年间制作的荷兰雕刻祭坛上。最早出现的现象似乎是布鲁塞尔祭坛上的一个较小的雕刻场景，现在被称为SträngnäsI，但更常见的是作为观察者右边小上翼内侧的一幅绘画场景。在不忽略光顾的情况下，委托和模型的流通，我会主张将其纳入其中，部分原因是由于在荷兰传播维塔·克里斯蒂（Vita Christi）文学而使艺术家对宗教阅读的投入增加。但实际上，在进口到斯堪的纳维亚的祭坛中，该图案比在其他地方成比例出现，这使得可以就出口的祭坛中的肖像画计划进行讨论，而不能追寻北部风景的升华的可能性。通常是维塔·克里斯蒂（Vita Christi）的文学作品，但要提到圣比吉塔（St Birgitta）异象中提到的母子之间的相遇。
