Description:

|
This very damaged frescoed lunette was discovered in the museum’s reserve collection and attributed to Uccello, as an early work, in 1969. According to a note attached to the back, it came from "a house of the Del Beccuto". The Del Beccuto’s palazzo was in Via Del Beccuto, opposite Santa Maria Maggiore; it was demolished when the center of Florence was redeveloped in the nineteenth century. Uccello’s mother was a Del Beccuto. It has been suggested that the fresco could date from 1431-1433, when (according to Uccello’s tax returns) the artist was owed money by a Deo di Deo del Beccuto.
