## Commentary

The left wing of the diptych shows the Madonna della Misericordia \(Virgin of Mercy\), while the right wing depicts a Calvary scene. This iconographic program is rare in the Trecento, the beside the Crucifixion usually the Virgin and Child is represented. Unfortunately, the diptych is in a rather poor state of preservation, thus the attribution to Niccolò di Segna is not certain.
