Interior of right wing, St. Ursula altarpiece

The interior of the right wing of the St. Ursula altarpiece completes the narrative programme begun in the left wing, advancing the story of Ursula's pilgrimage toward its tragic conclusion at Cologne. The Groeningemuseum's possession of multiple elements of this altarpiece allows visitors to experience the work as an integrated programme rather than isolated panels. Bruges altarpieces of this period depicted narrative sequences across multiple wings, creating visual stories that unfolded as the altarpiece was opened and closed across the liturgical calendar.

The narrative sequence of the right wing advances action depicted in the left, requiring compositional and tonal consistency so panels read as a unified programme. The master maintains consistent figure scale, light direction, and architectural style across the wings to achieve visual coherence.
