The "Retable of the Seven Joys of the Virgin" is a notable work of Northern Renaissance art created around 1480 by the artist known as the Master of the Holy Kindred. This master, whose real identity remains unknown, was an influential painter active in the region of the Lower Rhine during the late 15th century. The retable, a type of altarpiece, is a multi-panelled piece that celebrates the Virgin Mary through seven scenes depicting joyful events in her life and the life of Jesus Christ, as recounted in the New Testament and apocryphal sources.

The artwork is a prime example of the devotional pieces common in the period, designed to inspire piety and reflection in the viewer. Each panel of the retable is rich in symbolic detail and iconography, characteristic of the era's religious art. The scenes typically included in the Seven Joys are the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi, the Resurrection of Christ, the Ascension of Christ, Pentecost, and the Assumption of the Virgin. However, the specific content of the Master of the Holy Kindred's work may vary from this tradition.

The retable's composition, use of color, and attention to detail reflect the influence of the Early Netherlandish painters, who were renowned for their intricate oil paintings and altarpieces. The Master of the Holy Kindred's work is distinguished by its emotional expressiveness and the humanization of sacred figures, which connect the divine narrative to the everyday experiences of the faithful.

The "Retable of the Seven Joys of the Virgin" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural value, offering insights into the religious practices and aesthetic preferences of the time. It is a testament to the anonymous master's skill and the rich tradition of ecclesiastical art in the late medieval period. The current location of the retable, its provenance, and its condition are also of interest to art historians and contribute to the understanding of the work's legacy and preservation.
