Inscriptions

On base on frame, "SCA + LUCILLA"\r\nThe panels probably come from an altarpiece that was in the Abbey of Sante Flora e Lucilla, Arezzo. The central panel of this altarpiece is the fragmentary Virgin and child in Florence, Palazzo Vecchio, the Loeser Collection. The other panels are missing. A proposed reconstruction is in M. Cammerer-George, Die Rahmung der toskanischen Altarbilder in Trecento, Strasbourg 1966, plate 9 and Boskovits/Offner 1987, plate II- Carl Strehlke, Draft Checklist of the Italian Paintings in the Yale University Art Gallery, 1998-2000.\r\n
