One panel of a predella with Stories of Christ as the theme. There is only one surviving documented work of Domenico di Michelino, Dante Reading from the "Divine Comedy" in the north aisle of Florence Cathedral. Scholars have created groups of works that seem stylistically related and assigned them to an anonymous master; some are attributed to his workshop and others to Andrea di Giusto.
