Description: | This panel painting of the Virgin and Saints was probably made by the Florentine artist Lorenzo di Niccolò to adorn a side altar in a church. The main inscription recalls the Angel Gabriel's salutation to the Virgin. The painting has been extensively restored because it has suffered many losses. Not only was it scorched by the flames of devotional candles, but it may have been attacked by iconoclasts as there are slashes in the area of Christ's head and St Anthony's robe. St John's robe was originally a brighter pink or red, but has faded, so that the underdrawing is visible. | Subjects: | Christ religion (Virgin St John the Baptist) St Anthony Abbot St Peter St Paul | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lorenzo di Niccolò (Italian painter, active 1392-1412) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Italian (Florentine) School Previously attributed to Italian School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8881... | Go to resource |
