Description:
|
|
Signed and dated 1413 (1414 in the modern calendar), it was painted for the church of the convent of S Maria degli Angeli, Lorenzo's own monastery. Lorenzo was a monk of the Camaldolese Order ('monaco' means monk). The rather lengthy inscription indicates that he was still following the religious life, though he had been living outside the convent for around 18 years. In the upper center, in front of a Gothic ciborium from which angels look on, Christ places the crown on the head of his mother, who is dressed in the white of the Camaldolese habit. Crowds of saints, ten on either side (and all male, as befits a convent of men), witness the event. The predella features four stories from the Legend of St. Benedict flanking the Nativity and the Adoration of the Magi. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
