Quaratesi Polyptych: Miracle of the Pilgrims at St Nicholas's Tomb
by GENTILE DA FABRIANO, Tempera on panel, 36 x 35 cm
This panel is part of the predella of the Quaratesi polyptych.
It appears that Gentile felt freer to experiment in the minor scenes of a predella than in the main panel of an altarpiece. In this case he shows the interior of a church, which itself was quite a difficult task, with a rather convincing treatment of the space.
