Description: | This work has been attributed to Lorenzo di Bicci, the first known artist of an important Florentine artistic dynasty which operated its workshop over more than a century. It probably occupied the left side of a multi-panelled altarpiece, of which the remaining panels are lost or unidentified. The figures represented are the popular saints Anthony Abbot, considered the founder of monasticism and credited with miraculous powers of healing, and Francis, who founded the Franciscan order in the thirteenth century. Unusually, the stigmata of St Francis are pin-pointed with tiny gold rays. | Subjects: | St Anthony Abbot) religion (St Francis of Assisi | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lorenzo di Bicci (Italian painter, ca.1350-1427) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Italian (Bolognese) School Previously attributed to Lorenzo di Bicci (Italian painter, ca.1350-1427) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8887... | Go to resource |
