NICCOLÒ DI PIETRO GERINI
(active 1366, Firenze, d. ca. 1415, Firenze)

Virgin and Child with Saints

1380-85
Tempera on panel, gold ground, 82 x 53 cm
Private collection

The design of this panel can be compared to a number of other works ascribed to Gerini; the distinctive pose of the Madonna's arm entwined by the legs of the Christ Child and the music-making angels recur in other panels by the painter.

The represented saints are St Paul, St Stephen, St Anthony Abbott, and three female martyr saints.
