NICCOLÒ DI SEGNA
(active 1331-1345 in Siena)

Diptych

c. 1330
Tempera on wood, 33 x 68 cm
Christian Museum, Esztergom

The left wing of the diptych shows the Madonna della Misericordia (Virgin of Mercy), while the right wing depicts a Calvary scene. This iconographic program is rare in the Trecento, the beside the Crucifixion usually the Virgin and Child is represented.

Unfortunately, the diptych is in a rather poor state of preservation, thus the attribution to Niccolò di Segna is not certain.
