The altarpiece is complete & was dedicated to Saint John the Evangelist. It came from the Camaldolese Nunnery of San Giovanni in Pratovecchio, Italy. In the pinnacles are the Archangel Gabriel, the Trinity & the Virgin Annunciate. On the left panel ar ...
The names of the saints, Bartholomew & Catherine, are on a cartellino (or small paper) painted on the gold background. Saint Catherine stands by the wheel on which she was tortured & Saint Bartholomew holds a flaying knife, the instrument of his martyrdom. The panel was the right-hand panel of a triptych, or possibly a polyptych.

Moisè, Venice. Another panel from the same altarpiece depicts ' Saint Peter & Saint Jerome'. Both these works date from the period of Antonio Vivarini & Giovanni d' Alemagna's partnership. ...
This panel formed one of the shutters from an altarpiece in Liesborn Abbey. The saints have inscriptions identifying them on their haloes. On this, the right shutter, are Saint Gregory (the Annunciation is represented in his robes), Saint Maurice (a Roman ...
