DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION
The events that brought this important canvas to Pienza, recently rediscovered, re-evaluated and attributed to Fra Bartolomeo, are still unclear and mysterious.
From a stylistic point of view, the work is very close to the pictorial experiences of the late Florentine Renaissance and the purity of the line, the extraordinary brightness and the formal rigor make it one of the Dominican master's youthful masterpieces.
