GIOVANNI DI BALDUCCIO
(active 1315-1349)

Shrine of St Peter Martyr (detail of front)

1335-39

Cappella Portinari, Sant'Eustorgio, Milan

Like the Arca of St Dominic, the shrine rested on caryatids (Virtues in this case) and carried scenes from the Saint's legend round the sides of the sarcophagus.

The four Virtues on the front side are, from left to right) Justice, Temperance, Fortitude and Prudence.
