Verified profile

Originally placed on the altar of the ward of the ancient Pellegrinaio of the Spedale della Misericordia e Dolce, the imposing structure, today devoid of the original carpentry with lateral supporting pillars, consists of five compartments and a double order of platforms that welcome the narrative scenes. From an iconographic point of view, the characters depicted in the main compartments are closely connected both with the images relating to their biographical events and with those of Childhood and the Passion of Christ contained in the two predellas. In the center is the image of the Virgin enthroned with the child, described in the act of gently touching her hand, while in the right she holds a cord to which a bird is tied (today barely visible due to the large vertical gap that affects the two figures). The artist's signature is found under the main compartment with the Virgin enthroned.
