Holy Conversation (sacra conversazione)

The Adoration of the Shepherds 1374 Bartolo di Fredi Italian Once the central panel of an altarpiece, this painting simultaneously depicts the Adoration of the Christ Child and the Annunciation to the Shepherds, shown in the upper right. To create clear spatial relationships, the artist employed overlapping planes and daring, if naive, perspectivemost evident in the projecting roof of the stable. The setting of the narrative combines the Byzantine tradition of representing the Adoration in a cave with the Western iconography of a stable. This panel may have been flanked by single panels depicting standing saints.. The Adoration of the Shepherds. Bartolo di Fredi (Italian, active by 1353-died 1410 Siena). Italian. 1374.

Saint Lawrence Liberates Souls from Purgatory Lorenzo di Niccolò (Italian, Florentine, documented 1393-1412). , ca. 1412. Tempera and tooled gold on poplar panel, 13 5/16 x 26 5/8 in. (33.8 x 67.6 cm). A horizontal panel that supports the main altarpiece, a predella often presents narrative scenes from the life of the saint or holy figure who is represented in the main image above it. In this example, Lorenzo illustrates the life of Saint Lawrence, a third-century deacon of the Catholic Church and an early martyr. At an undetermined time and for reasons that remain unclear, this predella was removed from its altarpiece and cut into several pieces. Scholars have reconstructed the approximate sequence, following art-historical precedent, and arranged the scenes according to the devotional function of the predella rather than providing a strict chronology of events. This ordering places the widest panelthe depiction of the martyred Lawrence liberating the souls in Purgatoryas the centr

The Mocking of Christ

Fra Angelico / Naming of John th.Baptist

Saint Peter and Simon Magus Benozzo Gozzoli (Benozzo di Lese di Sandro) Italian These four panels were commissioned in the 1460s by the Alessandri family in Florence in order to update a Gothic style altarpiece painted 150 years earlier in the church of San Pier Maggiore. In them, the fifth-century bishop of Florence resuscitates a dead child on the square in front of San Pier Maggiore; the magician Simon Magus crashes to the ground at the feet of Emperor Nero when Saint Peter commands the demons who suspended him in midair to let him go; Saint Paul falls from his horse at the apparition of Christ; Totila, king of the Goths, asks the blessing of Saint Benedict. From his work with Fra Angelico and the sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti, Gozzoli evolved a narrative style of great charm.

Madonna and Child with Saints. Artist: Girolamo dai Libri (Italian, Verona 1474-1555 Verona). Dimensions: Arched top, 157 x 81 1/2 in. (398.8 x 207 cm). Date: ca. 1520.The saints (left to right) are Catherine of Alexandria, Leonard, Augustine, and Apollonia.Painted in about 1520 for the Augustinian church of San Leonardo nel Monte outside Verona, the picture was described at length by the sixteenth-century biographer Giorgio Vasari, who especially admired the landscape and enormous laurel tree. While the Madonna and Child reflect the work of Andrea Mantegna, the distant hill crowned with a fortress and the dead tree are taken over directly from Dürer's well-known engraving of Saint Eustace. The juxtaposition of the dead tree with the flourishing laurel refers to Death and Resurrection, while the peacock is a traditional symbol of immortality.A versatile artist, Girolamo dai Libri was equally famous as an illuminator of books, whence his name dai Libri ("of the books").
