## Commentary

This painting is one of the painted side panels Franciabigio contributed to frame Nanni Unghero&#39;s wooden statue on the San Niccolò da Tolentino altar in S. Spirito. The two flamboyant angels reveal Franciabigio&#39;s distinctive lexicon with their proto-Baroque sensibility and deep pathos painted in excited, jagged contours, combined with the strong raking light and almost smoldering atmosphere.
