Description: | This is one of a pair of panels, the other being OP:0045, each depicting two saints, bought by the Hatton Gallery in 1953. The panels were joined at the time of purchase, but have since been separated in accordance with their original state. It is currently believed that they were painted for the Church of San Bartolomeo at Barberino in Valdelsa, and were part of a polyptich. A Madonna and Child from the same church has been proposed as the missing centrepiece. The panels were attributed to Bernardo Daddi, though this has now been discounted, and stylistically they are closely related to work produced by del Biondo around about 1360. The frames are modern. | Subjects: | religion (St Francis and St John the Baptist); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Giovanni del Biondo (Italian painter, active 1356, died 1399) Æ Attributed to school of Attributed to after Giovanni del Biondo (Italian painter, active 1356, died 1399) Previously attributed to Daddi, Bernardo (Italian painter, active ca. 1280-1348) Previously attributed to Italian (Florentine) School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8679... | Go to resource |
