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 above the paired Sts Matthew and James the Less (Staatliche Museen, Berlin). Moses is unfurling a sroll with a Latin inscription that reads: "I saw that the bush was burning and was not consumed." |
