# Madonna and Child Enthroned between Saints [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MASTER of the Christ Church Coronation]() - Date: 1351-1400 - Technique: Tempera on panel, gold ground, 127 x 72 cm ## Commentary The panel depicts the Madonna and Child Enthroned between Sts John the Baptist and Clement, with two angels. In the pinnacle above the figure of Christ is represented. Boskovits lists the Master as a satellite of Andrea di Cione, known as Orcagna, and suggests that he may well have collaborated with him on occasions. Certainly the spatial arrangement looks back to the work of the Cione brothers, as does the interest in the different decoration which lines the curtain held up by the two angels, as well as the details of the lining of Saint Clement's red cloak. This panel was the central section of a triptych. The side panels were dismembered and are now in a private collection in Italy. The initials OSM appear twice in the pinnacle of the frame. They refer to the church of Orsanmichele in Florence, suggesting that the work was commissioned for that church. ## Related artworks - [Madonna and Child Enthroned between Saints \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
