"Retabelpanelen Met Enerzijds Een Annunciatie Met Op Verso Johannes De Doper In Grisaille En Anderzijds Een Aanbidding Der Wijzen Met Op Verso Heilige Catharina" is a significant work by the Flemish Baroque painter Gerard Seghers, dating from the early 17th century. This complex artwork comprises a set of painted panels, also known as a polyptych, which were commonly used as altarpieces in Christian churches during the period. The front side of one panel depicts the Annunciation, the biblical scene in which the Angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus Christ. The reverse side of this panel features a grisaille (a painting executed entirely in shades of grey) of Saint John the Baptist.

The second panel presents the Adoration of the Magi, a traditional subject in Christian art that illustrates the three wise men or kings visiting the infant Jesus and offering him gifts. On its verso, the panel portrays Saint Catherine, likely Saint Catherine of Alexandria, who is venerated as a martyr and scholar in Christian tradition.

Gerard Seghers was known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his skillful handling of religious themes. His work often reflects the influence of the Italian masters, as well as his contemporaries in the Low Countries, such as Peter Paul Rubens. The "Retabelpanelen" is an example of Seghers' mature style, showcasing his ability to convey spiritual narratives with emotional depth and technical precision.

The panels are notable for their dual-sided painting technique, which allowed for different religious scenes to be displayed to the congregation depending on the liturgical calendar or specific religious occasions. The use of grisaille on the reverse sides is a testament to the artist's versatility and serves to highlight the sanctity of the figures depicted through the stark contrast of monochrome against the rich colors of the obverse scenes.

As an important work of Flemish Baroque art, these panels not only exemplify Seghers' artistic prowess but also provide insight into the religious and cultural context of the Counter-Reformation in the Southern Netherlands. The "Retabelpanelen" remains a valuable piece for the study of Baroque painting techniques, religious iconography, and the history of Christian art.
