ca. 1380 - 'Resurrection, tetraptych Antwerp-Baltimore', Low Countries, Meuse/Rhineland (Guelders) or Flanders?, Museum Mayer van den Bergh, Antwerp, Belgium

The style of this remarkable altar suggests it was made by an artist from (Upper) Guelders, the area where the rivers Meuse and Rhine start to meet (present-day Southeastern Netherlands), which is coincidentally also the birthplace of the slightly later Limbourg brothers of 'Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry' fame, although a Flemish origin is also a possibility.
The polyptych is of such high quality that it may have been commissioned by Philip the Bold, duke of Burgundy himself.
The two other wings of the tetraptych (four-piece altar) can be seen in The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, USA. art.thewalters.org/detail/25676/two-panels-depicting-the-...

The armour of the soldiers at the Holy Sepulchre is more typical for a date around 1370; the 'official' date of ca. 1380 is a stylistical guess.
Note the kettle hat, attached by a strap through the back of the decorated pourpoint of the soldier on the right, and the gambeson/pourpoint worn over a hauberk of the soldier on the left.
