The Virgin and Child enthroned with angels and saints, a Crucifixion above


tempera on panel, with partial gilding; pointed top

Art market, Florence;

Private collection since the 1950s.

Recorded in the Fototeca of the Fondazione Zeri with attributions to Pietro Lorenzetti by Roberto Longhi and Luigi Coletti, this is now given to his circle.1 Evidence of repainting acounts for the differences between its appearance then and now. We are grateful to Dr Gaudenz Freuler for his suggestion that it could be by an Umbrian follower of Lorenzetti or by an artist of the next generation.
