Description:

|
In the first edition of the Vite (1550) Vasari wrote that the picture at S Maria Nuova in Florence was by ‘Ugo d’Anversa’. This picture is assumed to be the Portinari Altarpiece, a large triptych with the Nativity or Adoration of the Shepherds from the church of S Egidio in the hospital of S Maria Nuova. The patrons of S Maria Nuova were the Portinari family, and it was Tommaso Portinari, agent for the Medici bank in Bruges, who commissioned the altarpiece. Tommaso is shown on the left wing with his sons Antonio and Pigello, presented by SS Thomas and Anthony, and his wife, Maria Baroncelli, on the right wing with their daughter, Margherita, and SS Mary Magdalene and Margaret.
