Perugia Triptych (1447-48)

COMMENTARY

This altarpiece was painted for the St Nicholas Chapel in the church of San Domenico at Perugia. The central panel depicts the Virgin and Child Enthroned with Four Angels while the side panels represent St Dominic and St Nicholas of Bari, as well as St John the Baptist and St Catherine of Alexandria. The three predella scenes depict the story of St Nicholas. The triptych was dismembered and presently it is displayed without its original frame in the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria in Perugia, except two predella panels which are in the Pinacoteca Vaticana.

Suggested listening (streaming mp3, 12 minutes):
Gregorian chants
