Rest on the Flight into Egypt

[edit]
Meister Bertram, c. 1379
  • ... that the Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a popular subject in Christian art, but the earliest known painting (pictured) only dates to about 1379?

The article says "The earliest known Rest is a panel in the large compartmented Grabow Altarpiece by the north German painter Meister Bertram, from about 1379" and then states below a reproduction of that very painting "Meister Bertram von Minden, panel from the Grabow Altarpiece, c. 1367, the first known depiction". Only one of the two dates can be correct, though.Since the alter was painted between 1379 and 1383, why not go with "around 1380" ?
Apart from that, the article is long enough (of course!), well written and informative enough. It almost goes without saying. Edelseider (talk) 21:01, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, sorry. 1367 was just a typo in the gallery, unfortunately carried over here. All changed to c. 1379, as per Schiller. Johnbod (talk) 05:17, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Very well, then. Edelseider (talk) 06:43, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
