Verified profile

The two small panels with Santa Chiara and Santa Elisabetta come from the deposits of the National Art Gallery of Siena. The small size and the particular gold background in which the figures are embedded make it possible to suppose that they were part (together with other figures, only partially recovered) of the decoration of the pillars of a large polyptych. The decision to present these two fragments in the exhibition stems from the desire to enhance above all an ancient iconography of Saint Clare, to be compared to the image of another woman of the Franciscan family, Elizabeth of Hungary.
