Description:
|
|
In the 1460s Neri began introducing the sort of illusionistically cast shadows found in this altarpiece. The inscription at the base of the main panel identifies the figures. The Virgin and Child are accompanied by Saint Blaise (holding an iron comb to untangle fibers, the symbol of his martyrdom) and the Archangel Michael (with a balance for souls). Kneeling at either side of the throne are the donors and, on the altarpiece’s predella (lower panel), is Christ rising from the sepulcher. At the left are Tobias with an angel, Saint Peter and the Virgin, and at the right are Saint John the Evangelist, Saint Lawrence and Saint Francis of Assisi, perhaps the patron saints of the donors, whose crests are at either side of the predella.
