Description:
|
After being stabbed at the palace of Duke Alexander (alluded to by the distant castle), Mammes manages to drag himself away; his soul was carried to heaven by angels. (This panel seems to actually illustrate a scene earlier in the legend of Mammes where an angel liberates him from the Emperor Aurelian and orders him to hide himself on a mountain near Caesarea). The panel is from a polyptych, now split between multiple collections. Francesco de Franceschi was a Venetian, influenced by Michele Giambono and Alvise Vivarini; his work bridges International Gothic and the early Renaissance.
