This panel is an example of the mature work of Giovanni di Francesco Toscani and reflects his profound cultural affinity to paintings by Masaccio; so close in fact that this panel was formerly attributed to Masaccio. The figures show marked plasticity in the forms and express human affection through them. (Source: Galleria dell'Accademia (Florence) [website]; http://www.accademia .org/)
