Cвятые, пределла
Saints, the minuscule predella
композиция:
Below, in a minuscule predella, are Saints Clare, Lawrence, Peter, Louis of Toulouse, Catherine of Alexandria, and Cecilia.
The patron is likely to have been associated with the Franciscans.
Lippo was the brother-in-law of Simone Martini, with whom he sometimes collaborated.
In this work, he attains a refinement of execution equal to that of his famous relation.
оформление:
Painted surface (257х502); predella (254х34).
The reverse side is silvered (now oxidized) and tooled.
