This painting is one of the pinnacle panels of the now dismembered altarpiece painted by Ugolino di Nerio for the Franciscan church of Santa Croce, Florence. According to a nineteenth-century drawing attributed to Humbert de Superville, it was placed at the far right above the paired Sts Matthias and Elizabeth of Hungary (Staatliche Museen, Berlin). The Prophet Daniel holds a scroll. The Latin inscription on the scroll is derived from Daniel 2:45 and translates, "stone was cut out of the mountain without hands." |
