The Cortona Polyptych (c. 1437)

COMMENTARY

This polyptych, as shown by the recent restoration work, emerges from the combination of three wood panels, painted at different times and for different reasons. It was placed on a lateral altar in the church of St Dominic in Cortona. It was damaged during the Second World War.
