Tempera on panel
\n15th century
\nBenvenuto di Giovanni
\ncm. 60×43<\/address>\n

 <\/p>\n

Painted on gold leaf<\/a>, with typical symbols of 15th century Italian art such as the star on Mary\u2019s right shoulder, a symbol of virginity and a goldfinch,a symbol of Christ\u2019s passion. The words “AVE GRATIA PLENA DOM(ini)” are inscribed inside the Madonna\u2019s halo.
\nThe work comes from the chapel of San Filippo Neri<\/em> and we have proof that it was located in the Baroque choir of San Lorenzo cathedral in 1907. In 1930 it was transferred to the chapel of the Bishop\u2019s Seminary and during the second world war it was conserved in the Cathedral\u2019s archives.
\nIn 1938 it was restored by M. Amadio.<\/p>\n

F. Mason Perkins attributes the work to Benvenuto di Giovanni, an artist of Siena.<\/p>\n

Other works of Benvenuto can be found in the Siena area while the New York Metropolitan Museum owns an Annunciation<\/em> dating from 1498.<\/p>\n
