About this work
This altarpiece was made in the then modern Renaissance style. The form and motifs of the mouldings derive from Classical Roman architecture. The material was also modern: tin-glazed earthenware. The inscription translates as: ‘Sister Catherine, daughter of Tomaso di Salvestro, Nuccarello’s son, had this altarpiece made in the year 1502’. It comes from the church of Sant’Antonio Abate in Cortona (Italy).
