The State Research Institute for Restoration expertise has been researching Dutch art of the XV-XVII centuries for many years. Sometimes the works of major masters are received for research, information about which I want to convey to a wide range of readers. This work is also relevant for international relations. Within the framework of the scientific topic related to the artists of Northern Europe, several works related to the name of the famous Dutch painter of the XVI century Jan Gossart, nicknamed Mabuse (1478-1532), were received for examination by The State Research Institute for Restoration. This artist belongs to the so-called Antwerp school, influenced by the novelists. One of his most famous works is the triptych "Removal from the Cross" (1520-1521). The central part of it is now kept in the State Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg, Russia). The State Research Institute for Restoration examination received several works attributed to the master's hand and his school. The first work I want to tell you about is attributed to the circle of Jan Gossart "Crucifixion with donors" (Oil on canvas. 99,6×113,6, the first third of the XVI century, the Netherlands), the second is attributed to the workshop of Jan Gossart "The Mockery of Christ" (Wood, oil, 1527-1530, the Netherlands). This article will tell about these two works. The aim of the work is a comprehensive study of two works by the Dutch artist Jan Mabuse in the examination department of The State Research Institute for Restoration.
