Description:

|
The sumptuous winged triptych depicting the Virgin and Child enthroned with Saints John the Baptist, Mark and Peter (1433-1436), commissioned by the Florentine Arte de’ Linaiuoli (the Linenworkers Guild) and thus known as the Linaiuoli (or Linaioli) Tabernacle, is Fra Angelico’s earliest surviving painting of unambiguous date. The guild officers commissioned Lorenzo Ghiberti to design the marble frame, which was completed by 1433. The painting is the largest single-panel image of the Virgin and Child executed in the 15th century; the saints are depicted on arched shutters. The predella consists of three independent, framed scenes (39 x 56 cm each). (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
