Description:
Formerly attributed to Benozzo Gozzoli and Francesco del Cossa. Roberti’s first secure works are the predella and saints on the lateral pilasters painted for the altarpiece (1473) commissioned from Francesco del Cossa for the Griffoni Chapel in S Petronio, Bologna. The predella depicts scenes from the Life of St. Vincent Ferrer (Rome, Pin. Vaticana) and relates to Cossa’s central panel of St Vincent (London, N.G.). The episodes shown are: the Healing of the lame woman, the Raising of a rich Jewish woman from the dead, the Saving of a child from a house on fire, the Raising from the dead of a child killed by his pregnant mother who had lost her mind and the Healing of an injured person.
