# Miracle of the Tomb of St Proculus [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PACINO DI BONAGUIDA]() - Date: 1301-1350 - Technique: Tempera on panel, gold ground, 21 x 32 cm ## Commentary This panel once formed part of a predella made up of seven scenes from the life of Saint Proculus for an altarpiece, in the titular church in Florence, which belonged to the Benedictines of Badia. The altarpiece was dismembered probably in 1622. Six predella panels survive and are dispersed in various collections. Whereas the other scenes from the predella represent episodes from the saint's life, the present work records a posthumous episode: reportedly forty days after his death, a child placed under St Proculus's tomb was restored to life. Pacino depicts the moments before and after the child's resurrection - we see him pictured both beneath the tomb and in front of it, alongside the figures united in supplication and gratitude. ## Related artworks - [Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese]() - [Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese]() - [Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese]() - [Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese]() - [Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese]() - [Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese]() - [Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese]() - [Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese]() - [Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese]() - [Left wing of a diptych]() - [Right wing of a diptych]() - [The Morgan Codex \(Folio 22\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
