St Augustine Altarpiece (left wing)
by SIGNORELLI, Luca, Poplar, 146 x 76 cm
In 1498 Luca Signorelli executed a great altarpiece for the Bichi Chapel in the church of Sant’Agostino, Siena. Two wings, now in the Staatliche Museen, Berlin, flanked a statue of St Christopher ascribed to Francesco di Giorgio Martini (Mus�e du Louvre, Paris). The predella is now divided between various museums.
The left wing of the altarpiece represents Sts Catherine of Siena, Magdalen, and the kneeling St Jerome.
