Domenico di Bartolo, Italian, ca. 1400–before 1445
y1962-58
This fragment of a panel by Sienese painter Domenico di Bartolo may be from an altarpiece made in 1436 for the church of the Carmine in Florence, where it would have been seen near frescoes by Domenico’s great Florentine contemporary, Masaccio. The aristocratic Sienese figures are set in a rational spatial setting of the sort seen in Florence.
