Master of the Poldi-Pezzoli Diptych
The master of the Poldi-Pezzoli-Diptych ( it. Maestro del Dittico Poldi Pezzoli) is a painter who worked in Umbria , Italy between 1310 and 1350 . He may have had a workshop in Spoleto that specialized in the production of small-format devotional pictures. The painter who is not known by name was given his emergency name after the first work he knew. It is a diptych from around 1310 that has been in the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan since 1879 - the panels are separated from one another and no longer originally framed . According to the findings of Wolfgang Kermer , the Annunciation is shown on the upper half of the left panel, the lower half of the image shows the enthroned Madonna in the type of Maria lactans , surrounded by Saints Agnes (?) And Catherine as well as two Dominican saints. The right panel is dedicated to the crucifixion of Christ with Mary and the three holy women , John the Evangelist and a holy bishop. The presence of two religious saints suggests that the client came from the Dominican community .
