Description:
|
A Sacra Conversazione with the enthroned Madonna surrounded by saints. To the left are Mary Magdalene with the ointment jar and John the Baptist, and to the right are Francis of Assisi and Catherine of Alexandria with her wheel. The two kneeling saints, Cosmas and Damian, were patron saints of both the Medicis and doctors and pharmacists. The painting takes name from the Florentine convent of Sant'Ambrogio, where it was found in 1810 before the transfer to Accademia, then Uffizi galleries. The frame is 18th century.
