Imago Pietatis with Saint Peter, Saint Dominic, the Virgin of Sorrows, Saint John the Evangelist, Saint Francis, and Saint Paul. Altarpiece predella Tempera and gold ground on panel cm. 215x40 The painting has been attributed to Francesco di Antonio by Prof. Andrea De Marchi.
This high-quality panel, conceived as a predella with half-length saints, the Virgin and the Man of Sorrows beneath polylobed arches, has been attributed by Andrea De Marchi to the Anconitan painter Francesco di Antonio. Active in the late fourteenth century, the artist here reveals a synthesis of Orvietan models and Fabriano painting, with close stylistic ties to works such as his signed polyptych of 1393 in the Pushkin Museum.
