PIETRO DI GIOVANNI D'AMBROGIO
(b. ca. 1410, Siena, d. 1449, Siena)

St Augustin

1435-40
Tempera on wood, 96 x 37 cm
Lindenau-Museum, Altenburg

This panel belonged to an altarpiece, now dismembered. According to the reconstruction accepted by many scholars, the altarpiece consisted of a Virgin and Child in the centre (Brooklyn Museum, New York), St Augustin (Lindenau-Museum, Altenburg) at the left, and probably St Nicholas (lost) at the right. The three predella panels are the Departure of St Augustin (Staatliche Museen, Berlin), the Entry of Christ to Jerusalem (Pinacoteca Stuard, Parma), and the Birth of St Nicholas (Kunstmuseum, Basel).
