## Commentary

Puccinelli combined innovation - vigorous, monumental figures - with traditional decorative gold backgrounds marked by elaborate, punched patterns. The bodies of his figures display a hard linearity. Perhaps inspired by such artists as Luca di Tommè, Puccinelli enlarged his figures to fill the field. The physical presence and solid three-dimensionality of his figures was unusual among the Tuscan painters of his day.
